Unicorns Return to Yellowstone Now that the Snowmobiles are Gone

unicorn_deer

A team of researchers from the Zoological Society of London have caught on film a unicorn for the first time ever.

 

Dr Noelle Kumpel, ZSL’s Bushmeat and Forests Conservation Program Manager, said: “To have captured the first-ever photographs of such a charismatic creature is amazing, and particularly special for ZSL given that the species was originally described here over a century ago.

 

The animals are called okapi and they live in the Congo where a motion-sensitive camera snapped this shot. The okapi had been feared extinct, just another casualty of decades of civil war in the Congo. I know what you’re all thinking:  When will we be organizing a trip to hunt this magnificent beast? Plans are already underway—I’ve even started a rumor in Japan that its horn can be used to grow Godzilla-sized testes.
