Elephant tusks are enlarged incisor teeth made of ivory.Elephants have 26 teeth in all, 24 of these are molars and the final two are the tusks.

These modified incisors of the upper jaw grow continuously throughout the elephant’s life. However, some elephants are tuskless due to a chance genetic mutation. An elephant will use its tusks for digging, fighting and accessing food such as the inner bark of trees which is highly nutritious.
