Tusk

By seeing an elephant's tusk you know it is larger than a bull; by seeing a tiger's tail you know it is larger than a fox; by seeing one thing, you know many of them.

This is an elephant's tusk.

Khalid from Saudi Arabia was a friend in university, UBC. He rented an apartment near the planetarium of Vancouver, BC. He had spontaneous whims like us hiking up Black Tusk mountain with his leather shoes on, one sunny, but chilly day.

The Botswana Wildlife Producers Association, a group that focuses on the conservation and management of the country's wildlife, says placing electronic tracking collars on big tusk elephants could help prevent indiscriminate hunts.

Mr. Mercer, who in 1846 was the principal civil officer of Government at Badulla, sent me a jagged fragment of an elephant’s tusk, about five inches in diameter, and weighing between twenty and thirty pounds, which had been brought to him by some natives, who, being attracted by a noise in the jungle, witnessed a combat between a tusker and one without tusks, and saw the latter with his trunk seize one of the tusks of his antagonist and wrench from it the portion in question, which measured two feet in length.

Narwhals are commonly called sea unicorns because of the males' long single tusk, almost half the length of their body.

How much does an elephant's tusk cost?

The narwhal is an odontocete or toothed whale, but is different from all other toothed whales in that it has no teeth in its mouth. Instead, male narwhals have a single long, straight tooth (or tusk) that protrudes two to three meters out of the upper left jaw. Females almost never have a tusk. The tooth grows in a counterclockwise spiral.

A tusk is essentially just a giant tooth.
