Why does it seem unbelievable that there was once a goat-type animal with one horn? Particularly since it was mentioned in natural history writings repeatedly?
Now Pegasus defies physics and biology, so I'd agree that it is probably purely legend. But again, I believe anything is possible. Our (human) limited sphere of knowledge is no where close to ALL of what there is to see and know.

yes but that's a whole different thing. I didn't say i believed there was never a creature with the kinds of physical features that could have given rise to the myth of unicorns. I said I believe there are no unicorns. Never have been any. Might have been creatures that looked a little like what became the myth of unicorns, but magical horned horses with a penchant for virgin maids? i don't think so.
And as for 'anything is possible' No. Not so. Some things aren't possible.
