A deer with a single horn in the center of its head—much like the fabled, mythical unicorn—has been spotted in a nature preserve in Italy, park officials said Wednesday.

“This is fantasy becoming reality,” Gilberto Tozzi, director of the Center of Natural Sciences in Prato, told The Associated Press. “The unicorn has always been a mythological animal.”

The 1-year-old Roe Deer—nicknamed “Unicorn"—was born in captivity in the research center’s park in the Tuscan town of Prato, near Florence, Tozzi said.

Giacomo Pizzarelli, the park ranger who had the honor of naming the fawn, has previously provided the press with monikers for other singular creatures found in and around Prato:

“Jack,” the jackalope
“Centaur,” the half-man, half-horse
“Mr. Phoenix,” the phoenix
“Charybdis,” the huge-mouthed creator of deadly whirlpools
“Chupacabra,” the affectionate but ugly puppy left in a basket on Pizzarelli’s doorstep
“Bassie,” the basilisk
“Krak-bo,” the dreaded kraken
“Baba Yaga,” the scary old woman in San Rocco, Pizzarelli’s home village
“Steve,” the sphinx
