Elephants are evolving to become more and more tuskless in some areas because of the killing of elephants with tusks for their ivory over the last 50 years. In Gorongosa National Park, where around 90% of tusked elephants were killed, there has been a sharp decline in the number of tusked elephants.
Tuskless elephants became common as an evolutionary response to poachers. When ivory poachers target elephants, the hunters can affect more than just animal numbers. In Mozambique, past hunting pressure led to an increase of naturally tuskless elephants in one park, a study finds. sciencenews.org/article/t…
