Wapiti, male. Cervus elaphus. Wapiti Bull of advanced age stands guard at the perimeter of the herd. Always watching for predators, the wapiti graze so they can see danger coming.
The "body language" of ears back and head up with antlers in horizontal position means he has been alerted to some danger.

Not scoring well. All comments, so far, have been supportive of the image. There must be some voters who are casting low votes because I didn't use the title they think was mandated. There was no special rule requiring all titles be "Sentinel". It's not a shining moment for DPC when some voters refuse to look at the image and vote an image down because of the title.
