A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.

I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!

Only goofs & silliness. (:

However I'm not sure what the unicorn horn is made of.

Keratin.

Indeed -- assuming they're related to horses, they're not artiodactyls like goats and cows with keratin-coated bone horns, and it wouldn't be a dentin tusk like narwhals and elephants; they're perissodactyls like rhinos so they'd presumably have keratinous horns that grow back, like hooves and turtle beaks.

No, you misunderstand. I wasn't speculating; I just looked up the Wikpedia page on them and the info was right there.

The scientific name is R. unicornis. An Indian rhino is literally a unicorn.
