Are unicorns in the same genus as horses and zebras?

Answer 1

Yes, and dragons are reptiles.

Answer 2

If they existed, and they look as generally depicted, yes they probably would be.

Answer 3

They're mythical creatures... I'd assume they're a mixture of several existing animals, much like mermaids, minotaurs or hydras.

Answer 4

It was suggested that rhinos were mistook as unicorns.

Answer 5

No, they are not even in the same genus as CHINESE unicorns! On a side note though, AFRICAN unicorns are in the same genus as Chinese ones!!

Answer 6

nope................................................................................

Answer 7

They are fictional animals so the answer is no.

Answer 8

No.  The unicorn is depicted with cloven hooves.  Horses and zebras aren't cloven-hooved.

The unicorn would be more closely related to, say, pigs for example, than to horses.

Answer 9

The unicorns mentioned in the Bible were Nile Rhinoceroses.  The Latin word unicornus was also used to describe rams with a fused horn.  The heraldic white horse with a narwhal tusk growing out of its face, is a far more recent invention.

Answer 10

for the fact that they aren't real, i'm gonna say... no
