A young bull moose, Denali National Park, Alaska, United States 17 Sep 2025

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.
