Functions of the elephant tusks
3
0
The elephant tusks have many uses. They can serve as powerful and devastating weapons to attack or defend themselves. They are also tools that help return the soil to find tender roots and tubers. They are also used to clean the pulled grass before eating it, by hitting the clumps against the tusks with their trunk. They are also considered to serve as a sexual attribute.
