COUGAR Great Hunters 1 oz Silver Coin $20 Canada 2024

Its intended prey will rarely see or hear a cougar’s approach… until it’s too late. Guided by its senses and gifted with both speed and agility, Puma concolor doesn’t need to put on an amazing strength display during the hunt. Instead, Canada’s largest wild cat quietly stalks its quarry, crouching and creeping and concealing itself in foliage as it closes in, before swiftly pouncing and delivering a fatal prolonged bite. The cougar’s adept stalking abilities are powerfully conveyed on the second instalment in our Great Hunters series, each Ultra High Relief (UHR) portrait serving as a commanding example of the unconquerable and often elusive nature of Canada’s wilderness.

Lock eyes with the stealthiest of the Great Hunters.
