pl	Sknerus ma węża w kieszeni, ale pozostałe zwierzęta trzyma w swoim zoo. A w nim nie ma jednego zwierzęcia, które chciałby mieć, a konkretniej jednorożca. Okazuje się jednak, że jeden osobnik widziany był na ośnieżonych szczytach Himalajów. Donald i Siostrzeńcy wyruszają więc jego tropami, i nie mają pojęcia, że śledzi ich Goguś. (by Pernat, history)
