A young bull moose, Denali National Park, Alaska, United States

He may be young, but these antlers speak of future battles. In Denali National Park, in Alaska, United States, a young bull moose lifts his head above the shrubs. At this stage, his antlers are more crown than weapon—still covered in velvet. But even now, they hint at a life shaped by instinct, sparring and the quiet pull of dominance.
