Scientists Discover Proof Of The Unicorn's Existence

Sure it's not as pretty, but it was there!

Scientists Discover Proof Of The Unicorn's Existence

Recently I was scrolling through eons of ridiculous articles on politicians, celebrities, and various world crises when I came across an article of true worth: proof of a unicorn’s very existence.

Dare I say, I’ve never been more excited in my life.

We’re always waiting on these sort of happenings to occur, for scientists to uncover the fossilized body of a mermaid or for evidence of Bigfoot’s presence to finally surface. Naturally, I had to look more into this, as there is always a catch.

It is true, that the Siberian unicorn or Elasmotherium sibiricum existed on our own Earth many, many years ago. However, it's rather majestic reputation is a myth; the Siberian unicorn was covered in hair reminiscent of a mammoth and it's notoriously sleek lean body more so resembled that of a rhinoceros’. However, the mighty ethereal horn remains! ScienceAlert described it as “a fuzzy rhinoceros with one long, slender horn protruding from its face.” Even with its brawny stature, it most likely only consumed grasses. Still cute, I’d think!

Up until now, scientists believed the Siberian unicorn had not walked this Earth in 350,000 years. A recent discovery of a unicorn’s fossilized skull proved that, somehow, the unicorn was still around only 29,000 years ago. What makes it so magical is that this singular unicorn had somehow outlasted the rest of its species, which supposedly died out hundreds of thousands of years earlier. Scientists are still looking into logical reasoning behind this, but we all know it’s because unicorns are simply magical.

What I propose, most indecently, is that we use the DNA of the Siberian unicorn to breed with that of a horse. After many generations, we will have ourselves a pretty modest unicorn. Of course, this idea proves that I am no scientist.

You can read more about the ancient furry unicorn at U.S. News and ScienceAlert as well as the American Journal of Applied Science for a much more in-depth analysis.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
