Did you know?
The grizzly is the second largest land carnivore in North America after the polar bear. Males weigh an average of 250 to 350 kilograms, and females 125 to 175 kilograms.
Although grizzlies don't hibernate, their metabolism slows down during winter, making them less active and more dependent on their fat reserves.
When running, grizzlies can reach peak speeds of up to 45 kilometers per hour.
Despite their fearsome reputation, they avoid all contact with humans.
In the wild, grizzlies can live up to 25 years.
At one time, the grizzly's range in Canada extended as far east as Manitoba; today, however, it is limited to British Columbia, Alberta, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut and the Yukon.
Packaging
The coin is encapsulated and presented in a wooden case decorated with the Royal Canadian Mint logo. The case comes with a standard protective box.
