The Arctic Fox (2013), who sits serenely in the foreground of the image, looking toward the left side of the field, its thick fur, fluffy tail, small ears, and dog-like facial features beautifully rendered in stylized detail. In the background, motifs of circles, droplets, and wavy rays rise from the image of a circular sunburst positioned directly behind the fox.The circles and droplets symbolize the snow and light that are fundamental elements in the world of the Arctic Fox. The wavy rays allude to the warmth and brilliance of the sun, even in the Arctic landscape. The circularity of these elements echoes the circular field of the coin and hints at the cyclical nature of the Arctic Fox's lifecycle. The outer frame is engraved with the species' Latin name,'Vulpes lagopus,' the word'CANADA,' the date'2013,' and the face value of'20 DOLLARS. The Pronghorn Antelope (2013), viewed in three-quarter profile, is presented in the foreground of the image, its namesake horns reaching majestically toward the top of the image, with its serene face and head set upon a muscular neck.
In the background, the image of a circular sunburst replete with rays recalls the vast open skies of the Pronghorn's preferred habitat. From the sunburst rise wheat motifs and rays of light, the circularity of this element echoes the circular field of the coin and hints at the cyclical nature of the Pronghorn's life cycle.The outer frame is engraved with the species' Latin binomial name, " Antilocapra Americana ". Although reminiscent of the antelope of the African continent, Antilocapra Americana is the only member of its globally unique Antilocapridae family, which is native to North America. It is distinguished from other large, hoofed game animals by its unique keratinous, curving horns with their distinct forward-facing prongs. These are shed annually in late fall and begin growing in spring, returning to their full length by mid-summer. Although the Pronghorn Antelope does not jump higher than about 36 inches or 3 feet (90 centimeters), this three-foot-high, reddish-brown ruminant can sprint at speeds of about 50 miles (85 kilometers) per hour and run great distances at about 25 miles (40 kilometers) per hour.
The Wolverine (2014) is presented on the third coin in the foreground of the image, turning his head to his right as he surveys his territory from from the top of a rocky mount. In the background, the image of a circular sunburst replete with rays recalls the vast open skies of the Wolverine's preferred habitat.
Next to the sun the mountains recede into the distance. The outer frame is engraved with the species' Latin binomial name, " Gulo gulo ".The wolverine (Gulo gulo ; gulo is Latin for "glutton"), also referred to as the glutton, carcajou, skunk bear, or quickhatch, is the largest land-dwelling species of the weasel family. It is a stocky and muscular carnivore, more closely resembling a small bear than other weasels. The wolverine has a reputation for ferocity and strength out of proportion to its size, with the documented ability to kill prey many times larger than itself.
The wolverine can be found primarily in remote reaches of the Northern boreal forests and subarctic and alpine tundra of the Northern Hemisphere, with the greatest numbers in northern Canada, the U. Wolverines are solitary animals; t. Heir populations have experienced a steady decline since the 19th century in the face of trapping, range reduction and habitat fragmentation, such that they are essentially absent in the southern end of their European range. Large populations are still thought to remain in North America and northern Asia, although in February 2013, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service proposed giving Endangered Species Act protections to the wolverine largely because climate change is whittling away its wintry habitat in the northern Rockies.
