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.
Usually in mammals tusks are enlarged canine teeth, but in elephants they are actually elongated incisors and are essentially no different from other teeth. One third of the tusk is actually hidden from view, embedded deep in the elephantâs head.here is also a display element to tusks and they can attract the interest of females. Evidence suggests that elephants normally prefer one tusk over the other, similar to being left or right handed in humans. The preferred tusk is known as the master tusk.
