Скачать или смотреть Elephant Tusks: Nature's Marvels

Ever wonder why elephant tusks get so massive?
Here’s the wild truth: those tusks aren’t static—they keep growing for an elephant’s entire life, as long as they’re not lost or broken.
More than just decoration, they serve crucial roles: digging for water, stripping bark from trees, defending against threats—and sometimes using one as a “master tusk,” just like a dominant hand.
With the right diet, a tusk can grow about 7 inches—or 17 centimeters—every single year. Over decades, that adds up.
So when you see an elephant with impressive tusks, you're looking at years of growth, wisdom, and survival—all carved in ivory.
Next time you admire an elephant’s tusks, remember: they’re living, growing tools with a story to tell.
