Actually speaking Yes. That is the only part that has caused the tragic decline in numbers of this magnificent creature. Elephants are a protected species and if you try to buy or sell tusks it is a crime and you can be fined and/or jailed for dealing with animal body parts

∙ 8y agoNO! Not at all. The trunk is like a hand. They use it to grab things. It is the long thing that looks like a nose. A tusk is the hard, enamil type thing that grows out of their skin. Elephants have ONE TRUNK and TWO TUSKS!
