Elephants use these tusks as weapons, to dig up food, and to tear bark off of trees. When polished and kept clean, they are rumored to be very attractive to the lady elephants. After the tusks grow in, the elephant grows a pair of teeth in the back of their mouth. These teeth are large, grinding molars that they use to chew up their food using a backward-forward grinding action. As these teeth begin to wear out, they move forward towards the front of the elephantâs mouth. As they move forward, new molars come in at the back of their mouth.
Both species use their trunks to strip vegetation from branches and to pull grasses from the ground. To drink, elephants suck water up into their trunk. They can siphon up to ten quarts of water into their trunk. The elephant places the end of its trunk in their mouth and releases the water.African elephants also use their trunks to take dust baths that help to repel insects and guard against harmful rays of the sun.lephant trunks are muscular, flexible extensions of the upper lip and nose of an elephant. African savanna elephants and African forest elephants have a trunk with two finger-like growths at its tip. Asian elephants have a trunk with only one fingerlike growth.
