Question

For what purpose do the elephants use their tusks

Answer 1

Answer:

Elephants mainly use their tusks for defense.

Explanation:

They use them to defend themselves against potential predators such as Tigers. Predators mainly try to attack young and juvenile elephants. Elephants may also use their tusks in battle against other animals.

Answer 2

Answer:

Elephant tusks evolved from teeth, giving the species an evolutionary advantage. They serve a variety of purposes: digging, lifting objects, gathering food, stripping bark from trees to eat, and defense. The tusks also protect the trunk—another valuable tool for drinking, breathing, and eating, among other uses.
