CRAP
The belly blubber of a whale, sometimes referred to as "whale bacon," can only be legally harvested by native populations, like the Inuits of Alaska. Belly-bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich, yummy!

Bat poop contains potassium nitrate, a necessary component of gunpowder used in every American war through World War I, but today peacefully recycled as a natural fertilizer. Not a souper-pooper!

In the Italian Alps, the ibex goat was once hunted almost to extinction for its bezoar stone. The ibex's bezoar stone is the name of a concretion of undigested material found in its stomach that looks like a stone.

Large groups of lemmings commit mass suicide by jumping off cliffs into the water—an event that occurs cyclically when the lemming population becomes too large for the available food supply.

It is crap, it'd be crazy though.
Ah the whole lemmings debacle. It's a myth as I recall so Crap.
CRAP
They don't jump to their death on purpose. Hundreds of lemmings get to the edge of the cliff, all at the same time. In the confusion of deciding whether or not to swim across, stop, or turn around, the lemmings collide with each other and fall into the water below and drown. Safety in numbers; not for lemmings!
