The unicorn was only thought to have existed in fairytales. The mythical horse with a magic horn protruding from its forehead has been victum to many hoaxes over the years.

A video was released onto the internet supposedly catching the unicorn on camera. The shaky footage was made in the Netherlands and shows a closeup into woodland, where a white unicorn can be seen for a split second walking into the trees.

The video attracted over half a million views on Youtube before Chocolat Frey in Germany admitted the video was a hoax. It happens to be that their logo is a unicorns head.

Previous hoaxes include a unicorn skeleton constructed by mayor of Magdeburg, Otto Von Guericke in 1663. It was actually constructed from the remains of a mammoth, a Woolly rhinoceros and horned whale, the narwhal.

It is possible through genetic disorders and scientific tinkering that single horned cows, goats and deer exist. These have been exhibited in circus’s and freak shows over the years as unicorns.

The unicorn horn is said to have aphrodisiac properties, neutrelizing poisen and cure the meloncholy. The horn was a sort-after trophy by huntsmen who learned to use their virgin daughters to tame the unicorn, then killing them off-guard.

Whether unicorns actually exist or not is down to the individual to decide. Historically they have been mentioned by Marco Polo, Leonardo DeVinci and in the bible.

Although these may have been anything from a real unicorn to a rhino or a freak bovine. The internet has and will only continue to add to the debate, the hoaxes and the search.
