The Rock Unicorn is a rare species of unicorn. It has only been spotted three times, so we don’t know much about it yet. All the Rock Unicorns have been spotted in hot countries, during hot weather because in the winter we believe that they find their family and hide in their homes that they build.

The Rock Unicorn lives on high up cliffs in extremely hot countries. During the summer it digs holes in the rocks and then in the winter it hides in them with its family. We have only spotted them once digging the holes – and weirdly hiding in them in the summer, which we believe is not normal behaviour! The unicorn enjoys jumping down from the cliff and playing on the hot dusty, Sandy ground below.

It is thought that a few Rock Unicorns are completely silver with a jet-black horn. However, we have only seen them with a smoky-grey body and silver horn, tail and hooves. When it is dark the moon reflects off the shiny horn and then it glows so the unicorn can find its way around.

The Rock Unicorn eats rocks and plants that are growing on the cliff. If the unicorn is lucky it will find blackberries and eat them for a treat. Weirdly, their favourite food is crystals (which they dig up from caves in the cliff.)

Many people believe that the Rock Unicorn is scared of humans but others think that if you approach it calmly then you will be lucky enough to stroke the shy but beautiful creature.
