Bull With Single Horn Is Modern Unicorn in 1936

What might be called a modern unicorn has been produced by Dr. W. F. Dove, University of Maine biologist in 1936. From a day-old bull calf, Dr. Dove removed the two small knots of tissue which normally develop into horns. These horn buds he transplanted in the center of the bull’s forehead, thereby inducing the growth of a single massive horn. The bull, now nearly three years old, has developed much of the proud bearing ascribed to the mythical unicorn.
