A young deer was born in an animal shelter and has a single horn bang in the middle of his forehead. The speculation is that since this anomaly, although rare, is not unknown, deer with a single horn on their forehead may be at the origin of the "Unicorn Myths". Some years ago, there were a couple or so white goats with a single horn sprouting from their forehead. It seems that their two horns welded and spiraled around each other. There again, the classical morphology of the unicorn depicts a white animal about the size of a large goat or a small deer, with a goat's "goatee" (hence the origin of that word), although it has a horse-like head and a mane. Its hooves are cleft like those of sheep, goats, deer, cattle, etc., and its tail is long and rather like a lion's tail.
There is no smoke without fire, they say, and many myths are born from unusual events and individuals, animals included. They have a basis in reality, and the mythification process embroiders and magnifies the original event and character.
