Until it’s too late. Guided by its senses and gifted with speed and agility, Puma Concolor (also known as a panther) doesn’t need to display fantastic strength 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 is a commanding example of the unconquerable and often elusive nature of Canada’s wilderness. Lock eyes with the stealthiest of the Great Hunters. A more expansive UHR view than ever before. Each coin in our Great Hunters series is distinguished by multi-level relief heights made possible by our most innovative UHR minting relief technique yet. One of Canada’s Great Hunters.

Useless but Interesting Trivia. (Sorry- have to do it). An opportunistic predator who hunts from dusk until dawn, the cougar is known to prey on various species, including mule deer, white-tailed deer, elk, moose calves, coyotes, beavers and mice. A cougar relies on cover to ambush its prey, and once it has eaten its fill, it will hide any remains and save them for another feeding.
