Alpine Ibex -Switzerland

Switzerland is home to around 17,000 ibex, a figure that is all the more surprising considering how in Graubünden - the canton whose coat-of-arms bears an ibex - they became extinct during the 19th century due to hunting. The ibex was reintroduced in the National Park between 1920 and 1934.
The Alpine ibex (Capra ibex), also known as the steinbock, bouquetin, or simply ibex, is a species of wild goat that lives in the mountains of the European Alps.
