Everyone knows that there is such a thing as a unicorn. It's a 3000-years-ago misidentified Thomson's Giraffe ;-)

This could be the worst case of examplecide since the number of planets stopped being nine.

Chinese 'Unicorn Cow' Horns In on Fame


A cow with a horn smack dab in the middle of its forehead is leading some people to claim the supposedly fictional unicorn is alive and well and living in northern China's Hebei province.
[...]
"Saying that unicorns are fictional is the equivalent of stating that UFOs do not exist," said Seth Greening, a self-proclaimed "supernatural survivorologist" based in Los Angeles. "Of course there are flying objects that remain unidentified. And, of course, there are monocerotes or unicorns. But can a unicorn be a cow?"

Greening says that anatomically speaking, Jia's cow may be technically considered a monocerote, or one-horned animal. 

"It certainly does appear to have a single horn growing out of the center of its forehead," he said. "But a real unicorn?"
