Unicorn. The unicorn is an imaginary animal similar to a horse, with a single horn growing
Unicorn. The unicorn is an imaginary animal similar to a horse, with a single horn growing from its forehead. The myth of the unicorn is found throughout world legends and can be traced back to early pagan mythology. Despite its origins, the unicorn was accepted in Medival Europe and came to symbolise purity and holiness. The animal was also used as a symbol of Christ. It is thought that the myth derived from explorers returning home with the tusk of the narwhal (Monodon monoceros), which closely resembles the unicorns horn. Another theory is that sightings of the rhinoceros helped to encourage this myth in Europe

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the enchanting beauty of a Unicorn. The mythical creature, resembling a horse with a single twisted horn protruding from its forehead, has been an integral part of world legends and ancient pagan mythology. Its origins can be traced back to early civilizations who believed in its existence. Despite being purely imaginary, the unicorn gained widespread acceptance in Medieval Europe where it became synonymous with purity and holiness. It even came to symbolize Christ himself, adding a spiritual dimension to its mythological allure. The legend surrounding this magnificent creature is thought to have been influenced by explorers returning home with the tusks of narwhals - marine mammals closely resembling the unicorn's iconic horn. Another theory suggests that sightings of rhinoceroses further fueled this mystical myth across Europe. In this mesmerizing image captured by Science Photo Library, we are transported into a magical forest where the unicorn roams freely amidst lush greenery and dappled sunlight filtering through towering trees. This symbolic representation evokes feelings of wonder and awe as we contemplate the pure essence embodied by this legendary being. Whether you view it as an emblematic figure or simply appreciate its mythical charm, this print serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with creatures that transcend reality itself.
