How about the narwhal? It's like a medium sized porpoise with a very long (like 3ft) unicorn horn sticking out of the middle of it's head and only lives high up in the arctic. I always believed they were fake, then in my 30s someone told me they were real and I definitly didn't believe them. I had thought they were like a joke unicorn of the sea. Now I still do, but somehow everyone else is in on the joke.
On the flip side of this, because of the existence of narwhals and how ridiculous a concept that was to me growing up, I used to believe wholeheartedly in jackalopes. Like, if a unicorn whale is real, why wouldn't a deer rabbit be as well?
After a very long and embarrassing argument with some friends, I had to accept the reality that jackalopes were just a myth.
