Some More Horned Relatives

THE ELAND

This relative of the unicorn family is called the eland. It has two long horns that extend upwards. This African animal is associated with magic often because of its raw muscular power. It is able to kill lions and other large animals so some South Africans believed that there must be a spiritual deity helping this animal.

THE ORYX

A member of the extended unicorn family, this animal is an antelope that has TWO long horns, that are relatively thin and come out of the forehead like a unicorn.
