Adult males develop tusks, continuously growing teeth that protrude from the mouth, from their upper and lower canine teeth. These serve as weapons and tools. The upper tusks are bent upwards in males, and are regularly ground against the lower ones to produce sharp edges. The tusks normally measure about 6 cm (2.4 in), in exceptional cases even 12 cm (4.7 in). Females also have sharp canines, but they are smaller, and not protruding like the males' tusks.[9][10]

∙ 12y agoYes, they do and some need to be trimmed as they get too long. Most pig management practices have the needle teeth (what you call tusks) clipped out at 1 day old. This prevents the piglets from cutting each other when they are fighting, and from cutting up the sow when feeding.
