Hand Crafted Elephant Tusk with
Eight Wonders of the World
Elephants represent strength, fidelity, long memory, patience,
wisdom, conjugal felicity.
African Elephants are the largest land mammals. They stand 2.2- 2.6m (females)
to 3.2 -4.0m (males) at the shoulder. Distinguishing characters are the large
ears that aid in temperature regulation; the tusks that are used for fighting,
digging, and eating; and the trunk that is used for breathing, communication,
feeding, and drinking. Their bodies are grey in color and sparsely haired. There
are only six teeth, which erupt throughout life, replacing each other as they
move forward. Once the sixth tooth has worn down, there are no more, and animals
may starve to death
