There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

I couldn't find the picture and story behind him, but if anybody knows who I am talking about, i think his tusks should be included in this thread.
Nice Info btw
The tusks of the Asian elephant seem to be much lighter than that of the African elephant.
Just like your Indochinese tiger's canine tooth is also proportionally lighter than that of the Amur tiger.
What about Mammoth Tusk when compared to african Tusk?
Proportionally of course.
Are Asian Elephant tusk longer or shorter?
Edit:
I see that Mammoth tusk are lighter as well.
I wonder if terrain has something to do with this?
A lighter tusk would be benefit when trekking through snow or jungle I would think while a heavier tusk would not hurt the larger mammal as much in a plain setting. What about Jungle elephant to plain elephant in africa?
Are their any difference in tusk weight or size when comparing them?
