The ibex, or steinbock, is used as the Coat of Arms of the Canton of Graubünden, and is familiar to Ski runners as the badge of the local Ski Club of Zuoz in the Engadine.

"Git up an' explain what ye did to Kenneth Radhurst!" Receiving no reply, he continued: "Then I'll tell the men what ye did, ye coward.

The sudden attack made by such strange enemies seemed to have completely disconcerted the ibex; and it remained as if still under the paralysis of fear.
