This ram is so on trend with its fused ‘unicorn’ horns

Just when you thought we’d reached peak unicorn, a sheep in Iceland has been discovered masquerading as the real thing.

A ram, born last spring to family farmers Erla Porey Olafsdottir and her husband, Bjarni Bjarnason, in Hraunkot, Iceland, has been named, literally, “Unicorn,” or “Einhyrningur” in Icelandic, according to a translation from the local newspaper the Iceland Monitor.

Unicorn’s two horns are fused together at the top of his head making one super-wide horn and making him look like the mythical creature. As the BBC points out, “unicorn” originates from the Latin for “single horn.” This isn’t a perfect unicorn situation, since the horn splits toward the top, but still.

The unusual animal “always looks slightly surprised or sad in expression,” the farmers told the newspaper. It’s eyes are pulled wide by the horn, it appears.
