Ibex

The ibex was greatly prized in former times for its medicinal powers: almost all its body parts, and even its dung, were in demand for traditional cures for all manner of diseases. It paid the price: it was hunted to extinction in the first half of the 19th century. The canton of Graubünden had practically wiped it out as far back as the 17th century - an ironic fate for the animal which features on the cantonal coat of arms and those of several of its communes. - http://www.swissworld.org/en/switzerland...
