Elephant ivory (as well as the ivory of other animals) has been used as a medium for artists for thousands of years. Some of the most intricate carving has come out of the East, and specimens in museums today might cost tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars to purchase if they were for sale. The tusks continue to be displayed as a whole in a number of places. Ivory was also adapted for use to create billiard balls and to put on piano keys. It has always been used to make chop sticks, the handles of many items (like knives and guns), combs, brooches and other jewelry, and was inlaid in many, many different things. Use the link below to see a couple of pictures are learn more. What is arguably the best use of ivory is to let the elephant keep it for the length of its natural life. Elephants use their tusks in a number of ways that are useful to them in gathering food, defending themselves from enemies and in displays among themselves.

How does elephants move slow or fast?

Elephants does moves fast. Elephants does moves very fast indeed.

I used to think that elephants were slow, because they're so big. But the two figures I seem to get anywhere I ask, is that they can charge up to 25 or up to 30 miles an hour. Now if somebody can make clear why there are conflicting figures, that would be much appreciated, but that would be the job of an investigative scientific journalist, perhaps at some leading university of some sort, to get to the root of the real figure.

Either way, it makes them scary as **** knowing the damage that can be done by something 12 feet tall and thousands of pounds with a foot that can crush cars charging at you at 25-30 mph.
