thanks for mentioning the dragons... and the kicker is... in old hebrew, unicorn refers to the same creature we call rhino these days... and unicorns have been mentioned only around the mediterenean sea, whilst dragons have been mentioned all around the world... unicorns recently became known world-wide, dragons have been known world-wide even before humans learned to write or speak... which is the more famous one? i say dragons by a bunch of landslides
Holret laugh it up man but just imagine how terrifying they would be in the cavalry. a whole bunch of armored horses with a 2 foot murder spikes on their heads charging you're position would be intimidating as fuck.
rhinos notoriously lack brain development, have poor eyesight and a dangerous temperament matched only by the crocodile and surpassed only by the hippopotamus..... seriously, fuck. those. hippos.
@@SimonWoodburyForget no, the benefits of coprophagy [Ed.: this means "eating poop," write it down] are not nutritious, it's the bacteria within the fecal matter that may provide help with diarrhea and other intestinal issues, but the serious health risks of eating what your body considers waste is an ever present threat and is the reason why people find it such an appalling act.
RunningWild Triceratops was a lizard, not a mammal: I'd think you need to start with a Jackson's Chameleon and breed it larger and larger, but even so, Chameleon's aren't lizard's, so maybe not…sad I know. I blame global warming.
Wilfred Darr It was a reptile not a lizard..different classifications, it would be like saying humans are monotremes, we come from them but are not them. Dinosaurs were closer related to crocodiles than lizards.
Correction to all of this. Most dinosaurs are actually related to birds. Only pterodactyl's where reptiles, flying reptiles to be exact. But based on their skull anatomy, things like dimetrodon are in fact true reptiles. Not 100% sure about quadrupedal dinosaurs though.
Wolfness No dinosaurs are or where ever lizards, they are their own separate group. Not sure about dimetrodon. definetly a reptile but with its role in the mammal family tree its classification is a bit odd.
"Unicorns" once existed. The Greeks called them "India horse". a 1 horned deer like creature that lived in South east Asia. Having 1 single horn is much better for an animal in a jungle/forested area. With the amount of Fauna that were killed off with the rise of Humans over the last 10-45k years... The horn is said to have had "Magical" powers. Makes sense why they would hunt them to extinction.
Could be that later people actually saw a one horned goat and mistake it for the bible thing. After all Rhinos are not native to Europe. So such a creature fit the description. A lot of especially older depictions of Unicorns do look a lot more like a graceful goat then a horse.
Ummm... What about narwals? Ive heard that it's their "horn", dismembered from their bodies, that gave people the idea that unicorn horns are spiraled. People at the time apparently weren't told it came from a dolphin like creature. And FYI, their horns come out of their mouths, as a really weird tooth. And they ARE real, I think they live in the arctic and are kinda rare.
Hey, come on, back when I was a kid they were kinda treated like "Mythical animals DO exist!" I guess it's not that way anymore. Why call this spam? What, am I linking to some scam website by accident?
I can vouch for Oberon and his unicorns. I've known him for 20 yrs and met the last unicorn he bred. What is little known is that his wife did most of the work but got no credit for it. He did the unicorn project to "bring back magick into the world."
mum:What are you doing? me: I'm watching a very educational video mum: Finally non something stupid , what is it about? me: unicorns 🦄 mum- rolls eyes- 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I knew those unicorn. I met Lancelot, the one who was with Ringling Brothers, at ancient ways Festival in 1988 at Harbin Hot Springs. A year later I meant Oberon, a miniature and much safer unicorn. He was really cute and playful and the Zells would take them for photoshoots much like what we do with Santa Claus. Oberon complained that Lancelot time with Ringling Brothers had ruined his temperament, causing him to be rather aggressive. He vowed he would never subject any of his unicorn to the conditions with Ringling Brothers or any such businesses ever again. I knew Oberon Zell fairly well and was a student of his periodically. I interviewed Oberon Zell extensively about the teachings of his good friend Gwydion Pendderwen in the Mushroom House ( yes it was a house shaped like a mushroom) at Annwfn in the late 80s and early 90s which is where the unicorn lived. Oberon Zell actually called himself Otter Zell at that time. When the Unicorn Oberon died he took that name as his own. When Oberon sent in his patent request on the Unicorn the patent office said he could not patent them as unicorn but he could patent them as one-horned goat. Oberon sent back a cartoon that he drew which showed a bicycle with only one wheel on it with the caption one wheeled bicycle, next to that he had the picture of a unicycle with the caption unicycle. Below that he showed the picture of a goat with a missing horn with the caption one-horned goat next to that he showed the picture of one of his unicorn with the caption unicorn, he got his patent. You got a few things wrong in your video. Oberon is not a self-proclaimed wizard he is a wizard who has been recognized by the Pagan community for decades. And is an icon in the neo-pagan movement having founded the Church of all worlds Loosely based upon the Church of all worlds in Robert a Heinlein Stranger in a Strange Land. It is the source of the Pagan blessing "Thou ar't god" and. "Thou ar't goddess" this is a blessing designed to remind people that they are born from the image of divinity and have a responsibility to live as such. Oberon is pronounced Oh-bur-on. A funny note Once while visiting Oberon and his wife Morning Glory at the Renaissance fair, I was at their booth where they had Lancelot on display. This couple was staring at Lancelot and the man asked "is that unicorn real?" and the woman replied "yes it's real I saw it on television."
I think it was on 'That's Incredible!' that we were introduced to Lancelot, who was an adorably tiny kid at the time. The photos of him as an adult with Ringling Brothers definitely looked more goaty. I didn't know there was any controversy about his origins since the Zells were very straightforward about the process, but apparently the circus tried to sell the idea that their unicorns had magically appeared out of nowhere. I wish the first video clips of when it was young were available online, but it could be that the episode never made it to the home video market.
I remember seeing an article where a deer with a mutation had been found; it had a single "horn" protruding from its forehead (of course it was just an antler mutation). That, plus the fact that deer can have a mutation where they are born white, but not albino, and you could theoretically get a large yet still graceful 'unicorn' if those two mutations happened in a single animal.
If you look at the very first depictions of the unicorn you can clearly see they were really goats. They didnt change it to a horse until medieval times when people thought they were just mythical since they hadnt seen them in a long time. It is believed the goats were made that way by the goatkeepers to protect the rest of the flock. This ofcoarse created amazement to people who have never seen something like it and gave it special powers in their imagination as they did with so many other animals people did not understand in the past creating all the mythical creatures we know today.
Not true, the artificial creation of unicorns goes back much further and originated in Bedouin tribes in the Middle East. I grew up in Oman (where the Arabian oryx was famously the first successful re- introduction into the wild of a species that had been extinct in th wild.) The bedu would use Arabian scimitar horned oryx and bind the horn buds together after it was born, creating the long single horn on the white, elegant creature, much larger than a goat, and slightly more horse looking. These were created to impress strangers and to sell to foreigners as rare creatures.
How dare they patent making an animal? THE UNICORNS COULD BECOME REGULAR FARM ANIMALS DARNIT! That could have been good.. think about it. "Unicorn milk" "unicorn cheese" that's a great opportunity!
My mom and aunt knew Oberon Zell back when he and his wife, Morning Glory, where traveling with their menagerie of animals. This included their unicorns. My mom said the reason he didn't want to share his exact process for creating the single horn is he didn't want amateurs mutilating animals. From what I understand they were both huge animal lovers.
I went to this circus as a little kid in Arizona and remember that commercial and the circus itself. I remember my sense of wonder over it being somewhat muted as my mom kept saying it was all a surgical trick. This was fascinating, thank you for this.
Great video! I'm always glad to see your videos in my feed. Btw, I don't know if it's just my earphones, but the mic quality seemed lower for this video.
"And as I was considering, behold, a he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes."- Daniel 8:5
4:16 My cousin and I were just talking about collective nouns last night. Blessing is also the collective noun for Narwhals as well. (Although, we argue navy would be a fantastic chose.) Probably from its somewhat vague similarities to the unicorn.
Zell's hypothesis was that the probable historical basis for myths of unicorns was the more placid and gentle character displayed by goats to whom the horn-merging process had been applied. He posited that the process became a lost art as various cultures died out, changed, or where conquered throughout history. Then, without extant examples and without an understanding of the human, technical origin of the modified goats, the traits and nature of the creatures had become amplified, mystified, and obscured by retelling over centuries. It's not a verified theory, but it is an interesting hypothesis, and the behavior of the manufactured unicorns does seem to lend some support to the notion that the origin of the myth might have arisen from an old tradition similar to the Nepalese one. It is also telling that the modern version (horses with horns) does not at all reflect older depictions, wherein unicorns are almost universally smaller than horses, possessed of split hoofs, and usually depicted as smaller, rather than larger, than humans. In other words, very much like one-horned goats.
Dear Not Exactly Normal: thanks for making this video! However, there is one imprtant thing that folks should know: after Oberon and his wife did their years of research into where unicorns came from, the found out that unicorns are indeed real and are actually created by same surgery as Oberon used from Dr. Dove. So, unicorns aren't born but are created, as they have always been. The surgery does not cause pain and doesn't hurt the animal.When Oberon and his wife sold unicorn to Ringling Bros it was before the public knew how awful they treated their unicorns. Right after selling the unicorn to circus, the owner died and his relative took over and was horrendous to the animals. Oberon and wife were absolutely horrified to learn how their beloved unicorn had been tortured. They are huge animal lovers. And if you really want to have some who is "not exactly normal", ask Oberon for an interview. I've known him for 20 yrs and he never turns down an interview. He and his wife Morning Glory have been some of the least normal people the world has ever seen. Sadly Morning Glory passed away in 2014. You can Google Oberon Zell-Ravenheart to learn about him.
Much of this is accurate--far more so than most other accounts. But many of the living Unicorns shown here as mine were not. And the caprine (goat) Unicorns shown as having been created by Dr. Dove were actually mine, as he only created the one taurine (bull) Unicorn. But like just about every other reporter, he completely misses the essential point: Unicorns were, historically, actual animals, not merely inventions of fantasy. At several key points in history, they were created and exhibited by exactly the same process that Dove reconstructed, and that I followed as well. And they were created from different species (bulls, antelope, sheep, goats, deer...) at different times and places. I determined to reproduce the Unicorns shown in the famous Renaissance tapesteries, with the cloven hooves, flowing manes, tufted tails, and most significantly for identifying the species--bearded chins.And I succeeded. My Living Unicorns were exact replicas of those in the tapestries.
Honore Chaisson How about no? What you're suggesting is promoting animal cruelty. Someone as evil as Hitler would even say that what you are thinking is disgusting.
MountainGoaat I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend but really you're going after me and not the guy who left the comment I commented on oh and also I said "RESEARCH" not "EXPERIMENT"as in someone smarter reasearch it and so he doesn't try this without know what he's doing and possibly killing animals. I love animals and I didn't mean for that comment to go that way but that's not what I meant. °-°
Cool video, I really enjoyed all the history you found out and all you did was informal, fun and entertaining. Thank you for the video I'll subscribe to your channel.
Bulls aren’t ugly they are adorable! Bulls get bad raps my grandmother owned one as a pet, he was a real life Ferdinand he was loving and kind he was an amazing bull. But back in the day my grandfather wasn’t so kind when drunk and he’d sadly beat on it... so eventually it attacked and gored by grandfather. He survived but I can’t say he didn’t have that attack coming. Still an amazing and kind animal non the less. Pretty much an overgrown puppy.
When I was 14, I did a project on Unicorns. I ended with the conclusion; 'Just because we've never seen one, doesn't mean they don't exist.' I remember getting an 8 /10 for it.
I actually own one of oberon zell's books, and he talks at length about his unicorns. It's cool to see the specifics, now, because he was mysterious in his book too.
i saw the unicorn back then. they brought a bunch of kids down (some kind of special ticket) from the audience to ride in a kind of train in a circle around a platform and the unicorn rose up from the floor of the platform in a bog moment set to music. i was about 5 or 6, and i remember having to keep turning my head to see the unicorn as the train moved around in a circle. i knew right away it was a goat, but was clueless how they did it until the internet.
Ligia Doherty it's Legend and there are two versions The One released in theaters and then the director's cut which is a little bit longer and has a more amazing musical score
Greater one-horned rhinoceros do have skin folds as shown in classical depictions (though no second horn). From a distance one who doesn't know any better might assume they are plates. Another candidate for the basis of the unicorn is the Oryx. They've very long thin, gently arced horns, that are fairly symmetrical. If one is looking directly at you, It's head is turned to the side and it can easily appear to only have 1 horn. Especially at a great distance. I tend to think that it comes from travelers having seen a few different animals and their descriptions getting conflated over time.
Let's not forget that in the renaissance, narwhal tusk was passed off as unicorn horn and was highly prized among the aristocratic families of the day.
Great video - I remember seeing this guy on TV and his association with the circus, but wondered what the truth of it was and what happened afterwards.
The thing about the horned, plated rhino reminded me of a story my guitar teacher once told me. In roman empire during the gallic war, Gaius Iulius Caesar was told by one of his spies about the existance of deers. Caesar got a inaccurate view of deers by this spy, he was told that they are not able to bend their legs and therefore had to lean on a three to sleep. Also he was told that the natives use this to their advantage, cutting the threes in the night to hunt the deers. Ofc thats bullshit, but he could use it as a propaganda example for his people why these gallics/gallians(idk lol) are barbarians that are required to be fought for the greater good.
"Very ugly unicorn" Nooooo! He is beautiful!! the Bull is magical, he can be the most beautiful and magical unicorn in the world, don't crush his dreams :'(
If you make goat via genetic engineering that is immuno-compatible with a horse, you could probably transplant the unrooted horn base to that horse. Its probably a bad idea because I doubt the skull structure and behaviors of a horse are suitable to have a horn grown onto it. But you know, sooner or later somebody will do it anyways, because reasons.
The foal would probably reject the foreign tissue. If we could "wash" the buds and put horse stem cells instead (like we do to force organs to be compatible sometimes) then I don't see why not.
I have a theory that at one time. Almost every mythical creature existed. Because no one is gonna believe just one guy like- Man:I saw a horse with one horn!!! Everybody:Yeah right Paul, go back home and sleep. You need it.
playing devil's advocate, you could say that the population of the species was very small in a region that did not preserve bone well and so no remains can or are likely to be found, at least for unicorns, a dragon would require far more mutations and therefore far more time therefore allowing a greater chance of some skeleton fossilizing.
Legends of dragons come probably from the fact of fossils of dinosaurs and birds or pterodactyls found together or with their bones mixed, so people believed they found one big winged lizzard.
I always found it hard to think of unicorns as cute. Yeah, they look kinda beautiful and graceful in most modern media. And I really really like horses. I'm a typical girl on that one. But unicorns, as a kid I thought they were terrifying. I once had this huge nightmare (I call it huge because I still remember it and it's been over 15 years) where a unicorn would just run it's horn right through me when it tried to be affectionate with me. It was not pretty.
"the most famous magical creature of time-the unicorn" I think the dragon might have something to say about that

I love that you used clips from Legend for this, it's my all time favorite fantasy movie.
And where the hell have you been Dylan!
***** Well i hope to see more videos of yours, always a good watch :)
We all need to sleep
Zell's hypothesis was that the probable historical basis for myths of unicorns was the more placid and gentle character displayed by goats to whom the horn-merging process had been applied. He posited that the process became a lost art as various cultures died out, changed, or where conquered throughout history. Then, without extant examples and without an understanding of the human, technical origin of the modified goats, the traits and nature of the creatures had become amplified, mystified, and obscured by retelling over centuries.
It's not a verified theory, but it is an interesting hypothesis, and the behavior of the manufactured unicorns does seem to lend some support to the notion that the origin of the myth might have arisen from an old tradition similar to the Nepalese one.
It is also telling that the modern version (horses with horns) does not at all reflect older depictions, wherein unicorns are almost universally smaller than horses, possessed of split hoofs, and usually depicted as smaller, rather than larger, than humans. In other words, very much like one-horned goats.
Dear Not Exactly Normal: thanks for making this video! However, there is one imprtant thing that folks should know: after Oberon and his wife did their years of research into where unicorns came from, the found out that unicorns are indeed real and are actually created by same surgery as Oberon used from Dr. Dove. So, unicorns aren't born but are created, as they have always been. The surgery does not cause pain and doesn't hurt the animal.When Oberon and his wife sold unicorn to Ringling Bros it was before the public knew how awful they treated their unicorns. Right after selling the unicorn to circus, the owner died and his relative took over and was horrendous to the animals. Oberon and wife were absolutely horrified to learn how their beloved unicorn had been tortured. They are huge animal lovers.
And if you really want to have some who is "not exactly normal", ask Oberon for an interview. I've known him for 20 yrs and he never turns down an interview. He and his wife Morning Glory have been some of the least normal people the world has ever seen. Sadly Morning Glory passed away in 2014. You can Google Oberon Zell-Ravenheart to learn about him.
Much of this is accurate--far more so than most other accounts. But many of the living Unicorns shown here as mine were not. And the caprine (goat) Unicorns shown as having been created by Dr. Dove were actually mine, as he only created the one taurine (bull) Unicorn. But like just about every other reporter, he completely misses the essential point: Unicorns were, historically, actual animals, not merely inventions of fantasy. At several key points in history, they were created and exhibited by exactly the same process that Dove reconstructed, and that I followed as well. And they were created from different species (bulls, antelope, sheep, goats, deer...) at different times and places. I determined to reproduce the Unicorns shown in the famous Renaissance tapesteries, with the cloven hooves, flowing manes, tufted tails, and most significantly for identifying the species--bearded chins.And I succeeded. My Living Unicorns were exact replicas of those in the tapestries.
I'm going to put on a unicorn costume to get that girl
could a single unattached horn node from young goats be transplanted to a young horse to grow a horn?
might be neat!
but what is it grows inside the horse because they didnt transplant the node correctly 😲
Probably not.
I think some professionals should research that before you try anything •-•
Honore Chaisson How about no? What you're suggesting is promoting animal cruelty.
Someone as evil as Hitler would even say that what you are thinking is disgusting.
MountainGoaat I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend but really you're going after me and not the guy who left the comment I commented on oh and also I said "RESEARCH" not "EXPERIMENT"as in someone smarter reasearch it and so he doesn't try this without know what he's doing and possibly killing animals. I love animals and I didn't mean for that comment to go that way but that's not what I meant. °-°
0:52 "no human can overpower it!" Poachers of the twenty-first century: hahahahahahahaha
Just found your channel. Great stuff. You're like "this exists" for history buffs
God bless you for including the hilarious unicorn scene from Cabin In The Woods 😂
Thank God someone in TH-cam actually tried to pronounce a German family name the right way. Great content Btw 👍
Yes, we had hors 's with party hats on in the 1980s. OF COURSE we did.
i missed ya Dylan~ glad to see ya back
Cool video, I really enjoyed all the history you found out and all you did was informal, fun and entertaining. Thank you for the video I'll subscribe to your channel.
It’s always been my understanding that a group of unicorns is a “glory”, but “blessing” is valid I guess
Bulls aren’t ugly they are adorable! Bulls get bad raps my grandmother owned one as a pet, he was a real life Ferdinand he was loving and kind he was an amazing bull. But back in the day my grandfather wasn’t so kind when drunk and he’d sadly beat on it... so eventually it attacked and gored by grandfather. He survived but I can’t say he didn’t have that attack coming. Still an amazing and kind animal non the less. Pretty much an overgrown puppy.
When I was 14, I did a project on Unicorns.
I ended with the conclusion; 'Just because we've never seen one, doesn't mean they don't exist.'
I remember getting an 8 /10 for it.
so im ready to see this channel just boom up to a million subscribers in a year
So close to 100k
Oh yeah yeah.
I actually own one of oberon zell's books, and he talks at length about his unicorns. It's cool to see the specifics, now, because he was mysterious in his book too.
I love that joking slip up when you said "animal cruelty troop"; keep up the good work :)
i saw the unicorn back then. they brought a bunch of kids down (some kind of special ticket) from the audience to ride in a kind of train in a circle around a platform and the unicorn rose up from the floor of the platform in a bog moment set to music. i was about 5 or 6, and i remember having to keep turning my head to see the unicorn as the train moved around in a circle. i knew right away it was a goat, but was clueless how they did it until the internet.
" Did you see that unicorn? it's horn was so shiny" 😂
This was a really good video. WOW!
the thumbnail is just a goat
what is the name if the film shown I remember watching as a kid
Ligia Doherty it's Legend and there are two versions The One released in theaters and then the director's cut which is a little bit longer and has a more amazing musical score
of the film?the one with the guy with the huge bears and the unicorn blood?
harry potter and the sorcerer's stone
I love how legends just playing in the back ground it's a great movie btw
Greater one-horned rhinoceros do have skin folds as shown in classical depictions (though no second horn). From a distance one who doesn't know any better might assume they are plates. Another candidate for the basis of the unicorn is the Oryx. They've very long thin, gently arced horns, that are fairly symmetrical. If one is looking directly at you, It's head is turned to the side and it can easily appear to only have 1 horn. Especially at a great distance. I tend to think that it comes from travelers having seen a few different animals and their descriptions getting conflated over time.
With the advent of genetic engineering, the real unicorn horse might not be too far away from now.
Let's not forget that in the renaissance, narwhal tusk was passed off as unicorn horn and was highly prized among the aristocratic families of the day.
Great video - I remember seeing this guy on TV and his association with the circus, but wondered what the truth of it was and what happened afterwards.
Love how he used the unicorn from "Legend" love that movie
Wow...Clap your hands if you believe! That is so cool!
'Ugly, one-horned mules' killed me.
this is gonna revolutionize the vaporwave genre
The thing about the horned, plated rhino reminded me of a story my guitar teacher once told me. In roman empire during the gallic war, Gaius Iulius Caesar was told by one of his spies about the existance of deers. Caesar got a inaccurate view of deers by this spy, he was told that they are not able to bend their legs and therefore had to lean on a three to sleep. Also he was told that the natives use this to their advantage, cutting the threes in the night to hunt the deers. Ofc thats bullshit, but he could use it as a propaganda example for his people why these gallics/gallians(idk lol) are barbarians that are required to be fought for the greater good.
thanks!
"Very ugly unicorn"
Nooooo! He is beautiful!! the Bull is magical, he can be the most beautiful and magical unicorn in the world, don't crush his dreams :'(
the thing with pablo escobar is hilarious i cant imagine a drug lord with an uzi walking around on a unicorns back
1 upload a month...not bad, i guess. I hope you start uploading again...miss these video :(
***** We need to make you famous enough so you can do this as your job, you deserve it more then a lot of big youtubers.
Holy wow a channel without clickbait
_"And before you even knew what you had, you patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox..."_
fun drinking game:take a drink every time he says "unicorn" or"horn"
who did the painting at 1:33 ?
this is actually a great video
If you make goat via genetic engineering that is immuno-compatible with a horse, you could probably transplant the unrooted horn base to that horse. Its probably a bad idea because I doubt the skull structure and behaviors of a horse are suitable to have a horn grown onto it.
But you know, sooner or later somebody will do it anyways, because reasons.
I LOVE Dragons and Unicorn's, but to alter a sheep or a Cow or Bull to make it LOOK like a Unicorn is Animal Cruelty " !
Couldn't we take the "buds" when they are not attached to the skull and put them in a foal?
The foal would probably reject the foreign tissue. If we could "wash" the buds and put horse stem cells instead (like we do to force organs to be compatible sometimes) then I don't see why not.
I have a theory that at one time. Almost every mythical creature existed. Because no one is gonna believe just one guy like-
Man:I saw a horse with one horn!!!
Everybody:Yeah right Paul, go back home and sleep. You need it.
Two words: Fossil record.
Kat West you dumb
playing devil's advocate, you could say that the population of the species was very small in a region that did not preserve bone well and so no remains can or are likely to be found, at least for unicorns, a dragon would require far more mutations and therefore far more time therefore allowing a greater chance of some skeleton fossilizing.
Legends of dragons come probably from the fact of fossils of dinosaurs and birds or pterodactyls found together or with their bones mixed, so people believed they found one big winged lizzard.
Unicorns are so majestic and beautiful.. yeah, that's exactly what you're thinking when being impaled
I always found it hard to think of unicorns as cute. Yeah, they look kinda beautiful and graceful in most modern media. And I really really like horses. I'm a typical girl on that one. But unicorns, as a kid I thought they were terrifying. I once had this huge nightmare (I call it huge because I still remember it and it's been over 15 years) where a unicorn would just run it's horn right through me when it tried to be affectionate with me. It was not pretty.
My goat was dehorned incorrectly and therefore one horn never grew but the other did, so he has one horn... Unigoat
