Adult Male Elephants have the longest and largest tusks of all elephant species. The tusks grow around 18 cm every year. African Elephants have a much larger tusk than their Asian counterparts. They can grow to upto 3 meters in length. They can weigh around 90 kilograms or so. The asian elephant tusts are much smaller and weigh around 40 kilos. The Tusk is nothing but a teeth that has grown out of the skull. Just like a human teeth, it is made of calcium and other minerals. It is used as a display of size and strength and sometimes during fights or to bring down a tree while feeding. Females usually have a very small tusk or no tusk at all.
