If it's not a horse, it's not a unicorn.

According to Wikipedia:

“Its legs were longer than those of other rhinos and were adapted for galloping, giving it a horse-like gait.”

Close enough for me!

If it's a unicorn, its not a horse

Read something the other day suggesting goats? Cloven hooves and a goatee?

> In heraldry, a unicorn is often depicted as a horse with a goat's cloven hooves and beard

BTW, I highly recommend those tapestries in the Musee Moyenage - the Museum of The Middle Ages, if you're visiting Paris and are into medieval stuff.

I thought "unicorns" were narwhals.

Narwhals have two left+right tusks, not horns. Only one is obnoxiously long, the other one is usually short.

    Like an underwater unicorn
    They've got a kick-ass facial horn
    They're the Jedi of the sea
    They stop Cthulhu eating ye

makes me think of the "save the chubby unicorn" t-shirts with a picture of a rhino

as far as we know unicorns could be more closely related to rhinos
