We've got a live one!  Fresh from the Associated Press, it's a mutant roe deer in Italy with a single horn (not too uncommon) but the horn's in the centre of its head (which is apparently pretty damn rare).

The 1-year-old Roe Deer — nicknamed "Unicorn" — was born in captivity in the research center's park in the Tuscan town of Prato, near Florence, Tozzi [director of the Center of Natural Sciences in Prato] said.

He is believed to have been born with a genetic flaw; his twin has two horns.

I wonder how many Italian hunters are looking at that pointy head and wondering, "When does mutant season open?"
