Well, depending on how classical you want it’d be more rhinoceros like or more goat like. In Ancient Greece a unicorn was sometimes also antelope-like, associated with the oryx in Africa. They by and far considered unicorns to live in India, and obviously were describing a rhinoceros (Marco Polo builds on this by obviously describing a black rhinoceros as a unicorn much later).
 
In Europe they were mostly goat-like (cloven hooves, goat beard, goat-like body, etc) but occasionally described as being bigger about the size of a horse.
