An anime talked about the problems with the modern interpretations of the unicorn. If you go the full horse route you find issues with the horn in which the body can't get enough nutrients to maintain the horn unlike a elk or deer. Two horses don't have split hooves. Many medieval depictions show the unicorn with the split hoof characteristic. If it did come from the horse lineage it split off awhile back.
My theory is that it was not a horse at all but a horse look alike. An animal for the deer or goat family that developed the same shape or features as a horse. However the horse tail is up for debate do to varying depictions.
Unicorns represent the absence of negativity and evil and are they shining head of purity Grace and all things true and good of mysticism and Majesty that's what they are what people saw in the past I cannot say but I personally believe that if unicorns truly are real they would have the ability to sort of teleport between realms to come to our world and go to where we cannot follow them hence the term elusiveness but as all things positive in our minds can be a place of peace such as a unicorn it's not easily explained
The Last Unicorn (1982)
yeah imagine in few hundreds of years people will tell the history of elephants and all extinct species
Fun fact: The Abada is actually the Okapi, the short necked forest dwelling relative of the giraffe.
