Comment
About5th issue of the Animal Portrait Series.
The great horned owl (Bubo virginianus), also known as the tiger owl, is an extremely adaptable bird with a vast range and is the most widely distributed true owl in North, Central and South America. Its primary diet are rabbits and hares, rats, mice and voles, although it freely hunts any animal it can overtake. As Canada's most common bird of prey, the great horned owl is a symbol of power and agility.
Interesting fact
The 10 Dollar Elizabeth II (Great-Horned Owl) 2021 coin from Canada is made of 99.99% gold and weighs 7.8 grams. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design that showcases a Great-Horned Owl perched on a branch, surrounded by a beautiful landscape of coniferous trees and a full moon in the background. The coin's design is so detailed and realistic that it looks like a photograph, making it a truly stunning piece of numismatic art.
