I've read a theory that unicorns were erroneously thought to exist in antiquity, when people saw early paintings of animals in profile, appearing to have one antler, or horn, but it was only that way because the ancient artists had no idea how to draw a 3d object, or perspective. The drew the pictures from a straight on one side view.
