Unicorns can also be bovids (goats).

Currently, unicorn implies equine, but this is not always correct... But I'm not even sure it should be unimplicated. I think it would do more harm than good, as an overwhelming majority of unicorns on this site are equines rather than bovids, and I don't think people are going to start tagging equine if they see a unicorn.

As far as I know, the image provided above is the only instance of a goat unicorn on this site... Is it worth it to leave it mistagged as equine, or should something else be done?

we should probably just have a separate tag for goat-like unicorns, then. something like caprine_unicorn.

IDK... they're still unicorns and should still be searchable as such, but that might be the best solution

To be fair, if we want to split hairs, unicorn should probably imply chimera, lion, deer, horse, and goat.

I always thought it was just a white horse with a horn on its head
