@masterskrain: Really? I was almost ready to eat again, after yesterdays comments.@walruscarver2000: I hope that was a mistype. The unicorn was eating swimmers? I alway figured they would be herbivores. I have to read that story, because now I’m not sure I want to meet any. Or go swimming. Yikes!

There is also a theory that the Hebrew word transliterated as Re’em, and often translated as Unicorn, actually referred to the Aurochs, a now-extinct form of very large wild cattle.
Basically, the translators for the King James Bible hit the word Re’em, looked at the context, and substituted one unknown, powerful, untameable horned animal for another.
