Unicorns
are extremely solitary creatures, only coming together
for mating about once every 50 years. Due to their
connection with deer and antelopes, a male unicorn
is called a stag, a female unicorn is called a doe,
and a baby is called a fawn.
A unicorn
is born looking like a horse, with a waxy substance
where the horn should be. As soon as it is born,
the substance begins to itch, and the mother licks
it off. The horn immediately starts growing. At
the first few hours it grows very fast, an inch
every hour, but it slows down gradually, so at the
end of the first week it will be an inch every two
days, and at the age of one month it might be an
inch in two months. This means, the older the unicorn,
the longer its horn is and the slower it grows in
the future.
