Hi there! Did you know that elephants have big teeth called tusks? These tusks can be very heavy! An elephant's tusk can weigh as much as a big watermelon or even heavier. Usually, a tusk can weigh about 50 to 100 pounds (that is like carrying 25 to 50 big bags of sugar!).

Elephants use their tusks to help them dig for water, lift things, or protect themselves. So, their tusks need to be strong and big, which is why they are so heavy!
