Tuskers

Tuskers are large, prominent, elongated incisor teeth that protrude outside the mouth, typical of elephants and wild boars. In elephants, the term usually refers to their prominent tusks, which are modified teeth made of ivory—used for digging, defense, and social dominance. Tusks grow continuously throughout an animal's life and can become quite large. They play important roles in feeding behaviors, protection, and in social interactions within their species. While most well-known in elephants, tusks can also appear in other animals like warthogs. Their size and condition often indicate the animal’s age, health, and social status.
