unicorn.The {reaim,} most probably denotes the rhinoceros, so called from the horn on its nose.
In size he is only exceeded by the elephant; and in strength and power inferior to none.
He is at least twelve feet in length, from the snout to the tail; six or seven feet in height; and the circumference of the body is nearly equal to his length.
He is particularly distinguished from all other animals by the remarkable and offensive weapon he carries on his nose; which is very hard horn, solid throughout, directed forward.
He principally feeds upon large succulent plants, prickly shrubs, and branches; and delights in marshy places.
