Yeah, I just wanted to post this before Brittany did.

The Associated Press is reporting the discovery of a deer with one horn, much like a unicorn, located in a nature reserve in Italy.

“This is fantasy becoming reality,” Gilberto Tozzi, director of the Center of Natural Sciences in Prato, told The Associated Press. “The unicorn has always been a mythological animal.”
The 1-year-old Roe Deer — nicknamed “Unicorn” — was born in captivity in the research center’s park in the Tuscan town of Prato, near Florence, Tozzi said.
He is believed to have been born with a genetic flaw; his twin has two horns.

Sweet. Now discover me a hydra. Now THAT would be worth blogging about.

I love it when scientists find new animals they never even knew existed. Like this white killer whale that they just found near the Aleutian Islands, Alaska. Here’s some quotes from people who saw it…

“I had heard about this whale, but we had never been able to find it,” said Holly Fearnbach, a research biologist with the National Marine Mammal Laboratory in Seattle who photographed the rarity. “It was quite neat to find it.”

“When you first looked at it, it was very white,” she said Thursday.  (Thank you, captain Obvious)

“This is the first time we came across a white killer whale,” agreed John Durban, a research biologist at NOAA’s Alaska Fisheries Science Center in Seattle.

It appeared to be a healthy, adult male about 25 to 30 feet (7 to 9 meters) long and weighing as much as 10,000 pounds (4,500 kilograms).

Now, where is my unicorn??
