Show Me Don't Tell Me - by Roger Harris

 

What's This Thing Called?

July 7th 2008 05:09
Yes, it's an animal of some kind, but we never see any of them alive nowadays.

One old song says that the reason we don't see them now is that they were mischievous during the loading of Noah's Ark and did not get on the boat. They all perished.

Some say it is mythical. I can't say for sure about that although I know it is mentioned in the Holy Bible. Those who claim it is a myth also say that it is a good creature rather than the bad creatures that myths often create. According to some old references the animal is fierce but in a good way. They also make claims about its solitary beauty. Some claim that the appendage on its head can make poisons non-toxic.


It is usually considered to be some type of horse nowadays although in the past it was pictured as having the beard of a billy goat and split hoofs, which horses do not have.

Although the animal is usually considered a 'wild' animal, it is lovable, just as the Koala or Panda are lovable. The creature seems to have preferred to not be around people but was gentle when it was forced to be with them.

Since I love horses, I would really like to see one for myself.
