Did you know that Elephant tusks are actually teeth? They are elongated incisors that continue to grow throughout their lives, extending from deep within their upper jaw. Elephants use them for a whole range of activities, from digging holes and stripping bark from trees to fighting. They’ll even rest a weary trunk upon their tusks! #pinchmemoment #amboselinationalpark #elephantsofinstagram #kenyansafari #uniqueplaces #destinations #adventuretravel #bucketlisttrip #travelmore #wildlifeonearth #s

ELEPHANTS’ TEETH REGROW! They have 26 teeth, and each tooth can weigh as much as 3 kilograms. The most famous elephant teeth are the long incisors, called tusks. These can grow as long as 2 metres in African elephants. Elephants are “polyphyodonts”, so their teeth fall out and regrow many times in their life (usually six). #amboselinationalpark #elephantsofinstagram #kenyansafari #uniqueplaces #placestovisit #adventuretravel #bucketlisttrip #travelmore #wildlifeonearth #sustainabletravel #bucket

When female Asian elephant Swarna joined our herd in May 2014, her routine tooth exams showed an unusual shape and wear pattern on her teeth. Recently, the 46-year-old appeared to have difficulty chewing her food properly. The elephant care team decided surgery was the best option for alleviating her ailment. Through comprehensive training, they acclimated Swarna to the steps of the dental procedure. This built her trust and confidence and helped minimize the stress she may have experienced. . .

#Elephant dentition is unique and fascinating! #DidYouKnow that most tusked animals grow their tusks from a modified canine tooth (i.e. warthogs, walruses, etc) but the tusks of an elephant are actually a modified incisor!? Tusks are hypsodont teeth meaning they continue to grow through the majority of the animal's life. And ele's have six sets of cheek teeth (aka grinding molars/premolars) that push forward and progressively replace each other as older teeth get worn down. As for many herbivore
