Unicorns
Roman historian Pliny the Elder described the unicorn in his “Naturalis Historia” as being “the fiercest animal, and it is said that it is impossible to capture one alive.” Unicorns also make an appearance in the Bible in Numbers 24:8 and in a number of early medieval texts. While it’s unknown exactly where the myth of the unicorn originated, it may have come from sightings of one-horned antelope or the Indian rhinoceros.
