The unicorn is a very ferocious animal, having the head of a stag, the feet of an elephant, the tail of a boar, and which, in other parts, resembles a horse, only it has a black horn, about three feet in length, in the middle of the forehead. It is impossible to take it alive.~ Pliny the Elder, Natural History, Book VIII AD 77-79[1][2]
