Could it possibly be real?

If unicorns are horses with a horn, wouldn't that mean they can be genetically engineered?

That's not how that works. You can't just alter one or two genes and expect a horn; you'd need to alter a whole lot of them, just to get the right bone structure without messing everything else up. Sure, you /can/ genetically alter a horn onto a horse, but you'll have changed its entire species too. It's the same concept as creating a whole new species altogether.

 

[U.Flame]

I never said it'd be simple. If they make it into a new species, that would actually be better. Also, even if they mess up the bone structure, kill it in the process, but only after it lives seconds of immense pain and torture, but it's fine on the outside, I'm sure a picture of that would satisfy Unicorn fanatics.

With that philosophy, you could create ANY cryptozoological creature.

I'm sure it's already happened in secret experiments just for fun. Who knows?

 

[Gymnotide]

Yeah, sure. Except we haven't even the basics of genetic engineering mastered yet.

...Or have we?... Dun dun duuuun! conspiracies

I believe in undiscovered species not yet found, or found again. However, Bigfoot and Loch Ness I can tell you, don't exist, period. They only exist as legend and stories, and nothing more.

What about UFOs? Many sightings are misinterpretations and hoaxes but there are still many that are unexplained. I personally believe aliens can be responsible for that. But maybe secret government aircraft? I still think aliens.

Ahh, that would be so cool. I am fascinated my marine species that are not discovered.

The Yeti might have just been a big ape. I heard that when the world is at peace, the unicorn would appear again ^^

I tend to agree. There are some reports that are obviously bogus, but every now and then you'll find accounts of extraterrestrial activity that can't be readily disproven.

Or go back and look through history - the ancient alien theory is eerily plausible.

 

[dinosaurodon]

^ you watch Ancient Aliens too?

Santa Claus is real! I don't care what anyone else says!

With all of the speculation about aliens having visited in ancient times, such as ancient people perceiving aliens as their "gods" that they believed in, I truly believe that there is a great possibility that aliens visited in the past and may still be doing so today.

With very little of the ocean explored, I would think it's safe to assume that there are several organism species yet to be discovered, and perhaps prehistoric species once thought to be extinct still existent today(the coelacanth is an exceptional example). Myths and legends are no exception; however, I am sure the most plesiosaurs dwell within the ocean, though living things adapt(some not as well as others), and if the Loch Ness monster was existent, this would be a good reason why.

It would be quite exciting to see something such as a liopleurodon today. However, I'm most likely be going ahead of myself a tad too much.

By the time i am forty, I should be able to own a Griffin that I can ride to work. His name would be Zeus, and his wings would be a chocolate brown, and after a long day I can snuggle with my Griffin. Not to mention Zeus could catch mice and small rodents. Heck, he could fish too. Hmm... Griffins..

 

[Chu]

Some of then could be true I guess...

 

[blue]

Well Im sure they could be, I mean where did they all come from and the term for them plus apparent "sightings" you just don't know... you can't say yes or no untill you find a conclusive answer.

I saw a Bunyip once when I was young. No one believed/believes me but that doesn't change the fact that I saw it!
