Yep! That's right folks!! Unicorns were very real! I say were because they apparantly went extinct some 29,000 years ago. They were more related to Rhino's than horses tho. But still...Unicorns!

Doing a bit of research it seems fossils were first discovered in 1808. But only now have they found a right nice preserved skull that shows when they went extinct (thru carbon dating and such).

This drawing of one is from 1920:
