Hey guys, just something really funny, which I encountered in the last week. Did you know that there are unicorns in the Bible? Look at: Deutronomy 33:17
His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.”
Just a fun fact. Does anybody know what is meant by that? ^^

Horn usually symbolizes strength and power in the Bible, by the virtue of being lifted up, and because it enables a normally herbivorous animal to fight, giving one who isn't a devourer, strength.
It probably refers to rhinoceros:

People have read into it throughout the Middle Ages and created unicorn mythology.
But unicorns exist even nowadays in the sense of sheep or goat, that have a natural genetic mutation and grow one horn. So yeah there are real unicorns more in the way we usually imagine them, even today.

Hello Sebastian98, a unicorn is believed to be a "wild ox" (NASB), or as @SoulWeaver just said, a rhinoceros.

p.s. - still, it's much more fun to think of them like some of @Magenta's artwork portrays them, isn't it :)
