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.

The Asian elephant tusk can also exceed 10 foot, but it usually weighs less than 50 kg, while the African one with the same length can sometimes exceed 100 kg. I don't know why there is a such huge discrepancy.
I can bring the analogy for the big cat tooth as well, since some species like the Amur tiger got its canine tooth as heavy as the orca tooth, while some other species not so much.
