How strong is the elephant tusk?
Usually in mammals tusks are enlarged canine teeth but in elephants they are actually elongated incisors. Tusks are essentially no different from other teeth. A third of the tusk is actually hidden from view, embedded deep into the elephant's head. This part of the tusk is a pulp cavity made up of tissue, blood and nerves. The visible, ivory part of the tusk is made of dentine with an outer layer of enamel. Elephant ivory is unique which when viewed in cross-section reveals criss-cross lines that form a series of diamond shapes. Elephants tusk never stop growing so some old bulls display enormous examples. However the average size of tusks has decreased over the past hundred years because hunting elephants for their ivory has resulted in the 'big tusk gene' becoming increasingly rare.
