yes they do and if you ever see a pig you will be able to tell.
No. But wart hogs have tusks, or over-sized teeth.
Yes. Many pigs have big horns. They use them to hunt their favorite food, man.
no
Incisors is the type of teeth that an elephant has commonly known as tusks
unless if it were a boar or a warthog
answer is warthogs
Primitive species of pigs (such as bush pigs and wild pigs) have sharp tusks which are used to dig up roots. These roots and other similar plants such as tubers form the foundation for a wild pig's diet. Contrary to popular belief pigs are mainly herbivorous animals and their tusks are not used in hunting prey. --------------------- I take it he question is asking why natural selection favored pigs with sharp tusks. These tusks are offensive and defensive weapons, effective tools for foraging, and likely also used in courtship display. The animals that lacked them would not have been favored by natural selection for these reasons. The animals that lacked them would have been less able to forage for food, less able to defend themselves from rivals and predators, and quite probably less attractive to the opposite sex. These factors would gradually lead to a larger ratio of pigs with pronounced tusks in the population until eventually it became a common trait for the group.
No, not all elephants have tusks. Female Asian Elephants, for example, do not have tusks.
Domestic pigs have both hair and tusks...the tusks are removed very close to birth for the safety of humans and other pigs. The hair is generally sparse compared to wild pigs but there are some domestic breeds that are hairier than others.
The males grow tusks and on occasion so do some females.

Yes, pigs have very strong teeth and also sharp tusks if they have not yet been removed.
