QUESTION OF THE DAY:

Do elephants have teeth?

ANSWER:

The two species of elephants have two upper incisors that grow into tusks, so the tusks could be said to be the elephants' teeth. (However, some female elephants do not grow tusks.) These tusks are not much help in eating. Elephants use their trunks to detach vegetation and put it in their mouths.
