The Desert Unicorn

Throughout the world there are a numerous amount of biomes that contain

many unique breeds of unicorn.In this text we will be discussing

the Desert Unicorn.

Habitats

To maintain their body temperature these unicorns have adapted to the shrublands of Mexico. The Desert Unicorns main body temperature fits the shrublands at 38 degrees celsius, though the Desert Unicorns maximum temperature is 55 degrees celsius.The shrublands also have the ideal vegetation for their diet including ferns,heather and cacti. Unfortunately, in winter the shrublands temperature descends to -1 degrees celsius, this causes the Desert Unicorn to search for hot springs because if not, they will slowly turn into sand.

Appearance

The Desert Unicorn has a shamrock green tail with spikes protruding off the end of it’s tail. Many people believe that this is used as a defence method though it’s actually used as a camouflage method. This unicorn has a beige mane that holds an immense amount of sand,the hooves of this creature are quite sturdy due to the material they are made of which is sandstone. The colour of its main body is a light terracotta,this is useful because it is also used as a camouflage method to make it seem like a regular cactus. Amazingly, the Desert Unicorn’s eyes glow like the sun itself and reach up to 500 degrees celsius. Curiously, the horn of the Desert Unicorn is made of zinc,which is essential for life due to its different properties.

Behaviour

Desert Unicorns aren’t particularly aggressive though when threatened they will ready their hooves to calcitrate the attacker,this species of unicorn are always in search of cacti due to the amount of water they hold.The Desert Unicorn will avoid from being pricked by the cactus by plucking off the spikes with it’s robust teeth then spitting out the spikes.If you disturb them grazing the unicorn will flee from the area.

It has been since 1979 since one was sighted. Many now believe that they have all died out because of recent climate change and urban grounds appearing more commonly.Maybe there are still Desert Unicorns thriving not just in the shrublands of Mexico but as well as African plains and the Outback in Australia.
