The Karkadann:

The Karkadann is now believed to be extinct but once flourished on the grassy plain and deserts of India and Persia, possibly even in Africa (north - eastern part). It supposed to have closely resembled the oryx (kind of like an antelope but bigger). The elephant was the Karkadann's greatest enemy with the rhinoceros next in line. The body of the unicorn was as large as a rhinoceros and had a tail like a lion's. Each foot had 2 or even 3 hooves and insteadof the white horn we all picture on a unicorn, there rested a black one spiral one.

 

The Kirin:

An Asian unicorn, the Kirin resembles a stag but has the body of a musk deer and swishes around an ox tail. The easiest ways to distinguish it from all other unicorns are the spots on its back. Also, its yellowish belly is multi-colored (red, yellow, blue, white, and black). Kirins tend to be shy, resulting in the lack of knowledge of their existence. They never fight, unlike the Karkadann.

 

European Unicorn:

The European unicorn has a straight horn (almost) which is tightly twisted and sharp as well as large ears, big brown eyes, horse like tail, and stand about 3,5 feet at the shoulders. Males weigh about or sometimes more thean 100 pounds and the females, slightly smaller, tend to be only around 80 pounds. Their coats get thicker in the winter months as well as longer and lighten to fawn or creamy tints. A European Unicorn call sounds like a wail.

 

Noord Eurpese Eenhoorn:

Supposed to be a relative of the European unicorn, the unicorn, the unicorn from the northern part of Europe differs only slightly. It's coat is much shaggier, especially near the ankles, are larger than the European unicorns, they have bleu eyes, are bigger in size and have longer, more flowing manes and tailes. This unicorn, like the Kirin, is Extremely shy.

 

American Unicorn:

The American unicorn is mainly known for looking exactly like a magnificent white horse except for the exception of the single magically made straight horn on the center of its forehead. This unicorn loves to eat clover and blackberries. The American unicorn has a very close relationship with the Pegasus and loves to run with him. This unicorn can purify water and air and heal wounds with its horn. A male can grow to over 200 pounds while the female can only grow to about 100 pounds but don't take that as a sign of weakness. Females can move twice as fast as males and are more known to heal wounds and purify air and water. This type of unicorn loves to travel in groups or herds.

 

Indian Unicorn:

An Indian species now believed to be extinct. They were called "the horned ass" and supposedly lived in prehistoric times. Since the genus for this creature is "eguus" it is possible that it could have interbred with horses or donkeys. The offspring would have been horned mules, and there fore sterile.
