Description

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. HST/GST Exempt.

The Design:
Engraved in Ultra High Relief (UHR), the reverse design by artist Emily Damstra brings the viewer face-to-face with a cougar (Puma concolor) in the Canadian wilderness. The quietly stalking cougar is steady on its feet, its big paws padding and silencing its approach as it creeps down a rocky slope strewn with fallen leaves from the surrounding trembling aspen trees. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
