What animal is this?

It’s not a unicorn, but a stone lion.

Qilin is an animal that is produced and created based on the Chinese way of thinking. The male is called Qi and the female is called Lin. Judging from its external shape, it has a dragon's head, an elk's body, an ox's tail, a horse's hooves (said to be "wolf's hooves" in historical records), and fish scales. It has two horns, called dragon horns, and its horns are extremely hard. Colored in light gray, this shape is a new combination of many real animals dismembered. It concentrates all the advantages of those cherished animals on the construction of Kirin, the mythical beast in fantasy, and fully embodies the Inspired the Chinese people's "Jimei" thought.
