Where: Italy

Visitors are flocking to an animal preserve in Italy to see a mutant deer that looks like a unicorn. The animal was born last year sporting what Associated Press politely calls a "an apparent genetic flaw" that gives it only one horn. The unicorn-like mutation has made the deer a "budding media star" in Italy.

It would be so awesome if this deer joined a team of mutant superhero woodland creatures. Being a baby animal celebrity-slash-playboy media darling could be his cover and at night he'd fight forest fires with a two headed raccoon and a five legged frog. Maybe they'd even recruit some swimming bears!

As someone... (none / 0)

who believes in dragons, fairies, centaurs, good men, and other mythical creatures, this little guy tugged at my heart strings. If he only knew what a sensation he was making. I hope they leave him alone though, fame seems to destroy things rather quickly.
