I did not know that either. It’s interesting how all these cultures and creatures fit together.

But I can only imagine Rarity’s reaction to becoming a rhinoceros like unicorn. There would be tears.

Well, depending on how classical you want it’d be more rhinoceros like or more goat like. In Ancient Greece a unicorn was sometimes also antelope-like, associated with the oryx in Africa. They by and far considered unicorns to live in India, and obviously were describing a rhinoceros (Marco Polo builds on this by obviously describing a black rhinoceros as a unicorn much later).

In Europe they were mostly goat-like (cloven hooves, goat beard, goat-like body, etc) but occasionally described as being bigger about the size of a horse.

I did not know that. But thinking though non-MLP unicorns, I can see their bodies being closer to deer than horses which would explain the cloven hooves.
