“The wampus cat, once as plentiful as the passenger pigeon, is now found only in remote areas of the Canadian Rockies, especially in the Maligne Mountain Range north of Banff National Park. They were hunted for centuries for their lush pelts and the alleged virility-enhancing capability of their powdered Jacobson’s organs.” [ Does Ben Gadd know about this? ]
