One-of-a-kind bull has a single horn

Generally born with two horns that curve outwards in a flat arc as they grow on either side of their head, a Brazilian bull named Diamond is a little different.

Instead, the muscular brown bull has one thick horn growing upright in between his eyes.

Although Diamond appears to have been born naturally with the one horn - and has since been shared on social media - there have been attempts to create mythical 'unicorns' in the past.

Dr. W. F. Dove spent years of his life attempting to create unicorn goats, unicorn cows and any animal that passed the biologist's barn yard in the early 20th century.

One of his projects involved developing only one horn on a bull to imitate a unicorn. The animal lived for three years. 

Although an unusual sight, animals and marine life with a horn have been noted before.

A tuna fish with a giant horn sticking straight out from its head was caught by two fishermen near Osprey Reef in the Coral Sea, off the Queensland coast. 

Dubbed by social media users as a 'tunicorn', the bizarre sight of the horn stopped the fishermen, both experienced in the sport, in their tracks.
