Wild Boar Tusks

Wild Boar Tusk

N.B. All canines and tusks have been filled to avoid breakage

Tusks are ever growing canine teeth that have become specialized over the animal's evolution to serve as attack and defense tools as well as tools to mark their territory. They also advertise the fitness and health of their owner in competing male wild boar. 

The many human cultures that have lived alongside wild boars have come to prize these tusks as a status symbol, a proof of strength and courage. The bigger the tusk on the prey, the stronger the warrior who brought it down. 

Interestingly, both male and female have them. Males' are simply larger. In both sexes, the upper tusks are smaller then the lower tusks.
