China Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Chinese 'Unicorn Cow' Horns in On Fame (Dec. 2) -- 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. According to Metro.co.uk, the cow's farmer, Jia Kebing, first noticed a small bump on the cow's forehead when it was born two years ago, but he didn't expect it to grow into an 8-inch horn. But it has, and so has the cow's popularity, even though the presence of two normal horns makes the animal more of a "tri-corn" than a unicorn. ... Greening said that the real test on whether the cow is a unicorn is wholly dependent on the reaction it gets from people who see it in the flesh. "It is the reality of the people who witness it [that matters]," Greening said. "It's the effect of seeing, touching or riding on a unicorn that makes it a unicorn." Greening adds that since ancient times, people have attributed many magical powers to the unicorn, such as the ability to distinguish the guilty from the innocent, heal the sick and even restore virginity to young women. As such, Greening says it's important to see whether any of this happens around the unicorn cow. "To know for sure if it is a true unicorn, one would have to talk to the crowds who have touched Mr. Jia's cow and document how many conditions were healed, how many guilty parties identified, how many virginities restored, etc.," Greening said, adding that he'd love to volunteer his investigatory services to this cause.

JMS Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I think I went to see Ringling Brothers Unicorn in the 1970's. IT was a sheep with a horn in the middle of it's head. I remember hearing a doctor saiy he could make a "unicorn" out of any animal with horns with a simple opperation... A sheep shaved up to look like a horse.
