There are several ways that ivory is obtained. One is by killing animals like elephants for their tusks and walrus for their tusks. Another is to find fossilized ivory left from animals dead for millions of years. Each type of ivory has a different color to it and texture. For instance the African elephant ivory has more a yellow cream shade to it than the Asian elephant ivory. The Asian elephant ivory is a bright white. The walrus ivory tends toward the yellow brown shades and fossilized ivory is often light brown to dark brown. Today very few bull elephants live past 3-4 years old because they are killed for their ivory and it is hard to find an older bull elephant with a full set of tusks since they have all ready been killed by poachers and hunters.
