The cougar is the fourth largest of the world’s big cats and known for its yellowish-brown coat and mysterious nature.ย Cougars are known for their large front paws and long tail, which is used for balance and can grow to a length of 90 centimetres. Cougars have extremely powerful hind legs, which make them excellent jumpers. A cougar can jump straight up 5.5 metres from the ground. Cougars tend to roam in areas where they won’t be seen, such as rocky mountains or dark forests which is favourablyย linked to the Canadian wilderness.
A worthy predator, cougars have a field of vision that spans 130 degrees and can kill an animal four times its size because of its muscular form and stealth.
Other coins available from the same series include the 2018 Canadianย Predator Wolf silver coin.
