According to a story on Yahoo.com a deer with a single horn in the center of its head has been seen in a nature preserve in Italy.
Gilberto Tozzi, the director of the Center of Natural Sciences in Prato said "This is fantasy becoming reality. The unicorn has always been a mythological animal." The 1-year-old Roe Deer has been named Unicorn and was born in captivity in the research center's park in the Tuscan town of Prato, near Florence.
Tozzi said such anomalies among deer may have inspired the myth of the unicorn. The unicorn, is described as a horse-like creature with magical healing powers, and has appeared in legends and stories throughout history, from ancient and medieval texts to the adventures of Harry Potter.
