About
Third coin in the series!
Until the late 1800s, the bison reigned as the dominant land-grazing animal throughout Canada’s grassland regions, from Manitoba to Alberta. Its unique shoulder hump, shaggy mane and are just some of the physical attributes that contribute to the bison’s reputation as a symbol of strength.
The usually mild-mannered plains bison (Bison bison bison) may appear quite docile when viewed from afar; however, it is deceptively fast and agile, capable of running faster than a horse and jumping great heights despite its weight. These docile creatures are also highlysensitive to changes in their environment, and havebeen known to react aggressively if provoked or compelled to defend their young.
During the mating season from June to September, confrontations between competing suitors are common as adult males (or bulls) vie to mate with the female (or cow) of their choice. In a display of strength, the dominant bull will attempt to assert itself over a competing suitor by snorting and stamping at the ground. Should this failto discourage the challenger, both bulls charge at each other and butt heads in a spectacular battle ofwills.
