Yes. African elephants are generally larger in all physical aspects compared to Asian elephants.
incisor teeth
Unlike Asian elephants, in which only males have tusks, both male and female African elephants are tusked. However, due to the hunting pressure on tusked animals brought about by poaching for ivory, tusklessness is an increasingly common condition in African elephants.Both female and male African elephants can have rather large tusks. Female Asian elephants don't. :)
Yes and no. Both genders of the African elephants have tusks but the female Asian elephant does not have tusks, unlike the male Asian elephant.
Asian Elephants do have tusks but only males.
For African male and female elephants, the statement is true. In Asian elephants, the statement is also true, with the exception that a few female Asian elephants do not develop tusks.
Unlike Asian Elephants they have tusks and are much bigger.
Female African Elephants have small tusks while Male African Elephants have large tusks. In Asian Elephants, only the males have tusks. Females have very small or no tusks at all. Even among male elephants, the African Male's tusks are much larger than the Asian Males tusks
True! African Elephants have bigger trunks, tusks, ears and other cool things bigger than Asian elephants. It is quite neat!!

It depends. Female African Elephants have small tusks while Male African Elephants have large tusks. In Asian Elephants, only the males have tusks. Females have very small or no tusks at all. Even among male elephants, the African Male's tusks are much larger than the Asian Males tusks
Asian Elephants do have tusks but only males.
The most telling difference is the size of their ears and the presence of tusks. African elephants have much larger, more rounder ears than Asian elephants do, and tend to be able to have tusks more often. Asian elephants, on the other hand, have much smaller and more square or triangle-shaped ears (which ever shape you prefer) than African elephants do. A tusked Asian elephant (called Tuskas) is more rare than an Asian elephant with no tusks.
why do some Asian elephants have tusks and some don'tbecause female don't have tusks
no they don't have tusks

No. They are quite different.The African is larger, with larger ears, and heavier tusks. The Asian is more often seen in zoos and circuses.
