SKIN

The skin on the back and sides and other visible parts of the body, is 2 to 3cm thick. Skin of the ear is quite thin. The wrinkles on an elephant’s skin helps keep the animal cool by dissipating more heat and retaining water for longer periods of time when wet.

TEETH

Elephants have 24 molar teeth. As each molar wears out, a new tooth appears from behind and gradually replaces it.

TUSKS

Tusks are enlarged incisors of the upper jaw and are constantly growing. One third of the tusk is embedded deep in the elephant’s head. Only 7% pf the male population of Sri Lanka has tusks.
