I've always hoped to see a unicorn. Perhaps the myth has some basis in reality.  Now, if we could just get the magic........

People are flocking to the park in Tuscany where the deer lives, hoping to see him and take his picture.
 
"We have received so many calls from people and many are coming to see it," said Gilberto Tozzi, director of the Centre of Natural Sciences in Prato, near Florence. "Sometimes he comes close to the fence, even if he is very shy."
 
In just the past few days, some 200 visitors have made the pilgrimage to the Prato preserve to see "Unicorn," Tozzi said.[/q]
