October 15, 2011: All my life I've wakened every morning excited about what I'll experience & learn that day. I usually start the day by looking up a new-to-me fact, but definitely when I need a mental break from paperwork or practicing I briefly go looking for something new to learn. My blog is about anything I learn on any subject. I hope you will enjoy exploring this path with me.

Elephant Tusks and Tushes

African male and female elephants have tusks, but only the male Asian elephant has tusks. The Asian female elephant has tushes, which is an incisor-tooth that sticks out from the lips. For more information click here.
I've ridden an Asian elephant, but I've only seen African elephants in zoos. Have you seen or ridden an elephant?
