Product details
GIGANTIC WARTHOG UPPER TUSKS 30CM LONG ALONG CURVATURE
A GIGANTIC WARTHOG UPPER TUSK. THE UPPER TUSK PAIR IS AROUND 30CM LONG ON THE CURVATURE WHICH IS NEAR THE UPPER LIMIT FOR WARTHOG TUSKS. THE WARTHOGS (PHACOCHOERUS AFRICANUS) NAME IS INSPIRED BY THE LARGE WARTS ON THE MALE'S HEAD AND FACE. THESE "WARTS" ARE ACTUALLY CARTILAGINOUS BUMPS OF TISSUE THAT PROTECT THE FACE AND EYES FROM INJURY DURING FIGHTS WITH OTHER MALE WARTHOGS.
WARTHOGS:
The Warthog has a reputation of being a dangerous animal as many a leopard can account for. So much so that one of the world's most fearsome combat aircraft is generally known, not by its official name of Thunderbolt, but as the Warthog.
Although the upper tusks look impressive, it is the shorter lower tusks honed to razor sharp edges by rubbing against the upper ones, which are the real weapons. The upper tusk can reach up to 30 cm, the lower tusk can reach 13 cm in length.
They are omnivoures and will eat pretty much anything if they have to and there full set of molars can attest to. Warthogs are hardy survivors and can live in various habitats. They are currently not a threatened species.
SIZE: 30CM LONG ON THE CURVATURE.
20CM STRAIGHT FROM EDGE TO EDGE
CONDITION: TIP HAS SOME DAMAGE. PLEASE SEE PHOTOS.
