Gilberto Tozzi, director of the Center of Natural Sciences in Prato, northwest of Florence said, "Deer are one year old was born in captivity with a congenital genetic defect that gave him only one horn right in the middle of his head." The deer had a normal twin with two horns on his head.

Soon overwhelmed the community conservation center to see the rare deer. In a few days recorded more than 200 visitors who came to an area of 1 hectare is.

"We received so many calls from people and many came to see the deer immediately. Sometimes the deer fence boldly approached the visitors despite the fact that she is shy deer" Tozzi said.

One-horned deer are animals classified as endangered, although it does not mean there is no before. but experts say that a deer with one horn right in the middle of the head is something never seen before. Tozzi said that this anomaly may have triggered the emergence of the legend of the Unicorn in the past.

Unicorn is a legendary creature similar to a horse with one horn in the middle of the head with the healing power of stories that appeared in legends around the world, from ancient texts to Harry Potter fiction.

Old records once called Unicorn of them is the English Bible King James version is translated in the 17th century that the word "unicorn" as much as 8 times. and Leonardo da Vinci never mentioned the nature of the Unicorn in his diary. And perhaps the most ancient records known about the Unicorn is a picture of the Unicorn seal used by the Indus Valley civilization in India.
