2018 - $20 - 1 oz. Pure Silver Coloured Coin - Majestic Wildlife: Mettlesome Mountain Goat

Mountain goats forage on vegetation on cliff faces, often above the tree line, even tackling grades of more than 60º to reach pockets of vegetation between the rocks. Their hooves are ingeniously designed so they can climb where other animals would simply slide off. Adult males and females both have horns and beards, and everyone wears a thick, woolly coat that can withstand extreme cold and wind—unique climbing gear for Canada's one-of-a-kind mountaineer! This incredibly agile member of the antelope family spends 75% of its time on steep rocky ledges to stay out of reach of predators such as bears, wolves and cougars. Its habitat is so remote and extreme, little was known about this animal before 1900.
