Indian Wild Ass (Equus hemionus khur)
Fun fact, reddish colored wild asses like this fellow here are believed to be the animal the very oldest unicorn myths are based off of. Unicorns were first described by a Greek traveler/philosopher who described them as a white or pale colored animal with a red head, a single horn and toe bones like an ox. They were also said to be incredibly feisty and nearly impossible to capture.
Given the coloration of a wild ass, and their bad temperaments when cornered, as well as the easy mistake of thinking one of their ears is a horn from a distance, you have yourself a strong contender for the “unicorn.”
