Sigh. No, they are not teal. But they aren't real either. The wheels protruding from the beast in that photo are a good hint... I think it is time I stepped in sorted out this confusion. After all, the Bearer of Truth can do no less: Unicorns do not exist, not as a separate species anyway. What happens is that people with bad eye-sights, or faulty cameras, look at rhinocereses and see unicorns. And the the fight about colour? Well, that is a side-effect of the fact that the rhinos love Holi and each year a few of them get caught in the near-permanent dye solutions. So different people, at different times, have seen pink, blue, green, teal, and red 'unicorns'.
