Unicorns

The Unicorn is a magical creature of European Folklore. It was said to be a white horse with a single horn (and occasionally a goats beard). It was a symbol of purity and grace and was still believed to exist up until the 19th century.

Five Things You May Not Have Known About Unicorns

• The original Unicorns were described by Greek scientists as being native to India.

• A Unicorn is so pure that it can only be caught by a "fair virgin".

• If pursued by hunters, a Unicorn would throw itself off a cliff and then turn its head before hitting the ground so that its magical horn would absorb the force of the impact, leaving the Unicorn unscathed and able to escape
