I thought that the reason there weren't any unicorns was because they had all been driven into the sea (due to Noah forgetting them or an evil wizard, I never could decide which) and had become Narwhals, which are a type of whale with a sharp unicorn like horn on top of their head that I found in my National Geographic book of animals.
It was a strange fusion of ideas, but hey, the europeans were fooled by narwhal horns for years and counted them among religious artifacts.
