The Magical Creature from Legends
The unicorn is an ancient mythical character. The first mentions of it are found in India, dating back to the 4th century BCE. This mythical creature appears in the literature of ancient China, Russia, Europe, and Islamic countries. Interestingly, in the Middle Ages, unicorns were considered absolutely real creatures that any lucky person might encounter.
According to legends, witches and wizards rode on these beautifully magical horses with a single horn. The tales say that this proud animal has a very willful nature, which only a young maiden can tame. Unicorn coloring pages will help your child feel like a true tamer of these magical beings. Girls especially love these cute magical horses.
Today, researchers believe the well-known mythical image emerged thanks to the Indian rhinoceros and African antelopes, which often lose one of their horns in battles. It’s likely that such animals were seen by travelers. In modern times, there are European roe deer with a genetic trait that results in a single horn. The last such animal in the wild was discovered in 2008.
