Scientists found a fossilized skull of an ancient animal called Elasmotherium sibiricum, and it might be the closest thing to a real unicorn that ever existed. This animal lived around 30,000 years ago and looked more like a giant, furry rhinoceros than the graceful, horse-like unicorns we imagine today. It had a single, large horn on its forehead, but that’s where the similarities to unicorn myths end. This creature was enormous—twice as heavy as a giraffe! It likely roamed the grasslands of Siberia, using its horn for defense or digging for food. While it wasn’t the magical unicorn from legends, it’s fascinating to think that a real animal with one horn did walk the Earth long ago.
