Unicorns are not being usurped by Llamas

Happy #nationalunicornday all. These mythical creatures have a deep history, claims of them appearing in Mesopotamian artworks back in 4000BC they’re often thought to be misinterpretations of Narwhals or Rhino’s – Who are these naysayers of their existence? Unicorns symbolise innocence, so only virgins could ever possible catch one. Their name, well pub-quizzers, it derives from the Latin for one (Unus) and Horn (Cornu) – Unuscornu is the literal translation but Unicorn has much more of a ring to it but. How it became Scotland’s national animal has us stumped,  being turned into a plethora of playthings and other interesting items does not :
