The Fascinating World of Tusks: A Guide to Mammalian Ivory

Tusks are elongated, pointed teeth found in some mammals, including elephants and walruses. They are made of ivory and are used for a variety of purposes, such as digging, fighting, and lifting objects. In elephants, the tusks are located on the lower jaw and can grow up to several feet long. In walruses, the tusks are located on the upper jaw and are typically shorter than those found in elephants. Tusks are considered a distinctive feature of these animals and are often used to identify them.
