Why sad? Why should elephants have tusks. Elephants perhaps evolved tusks because they were useful weapons and tools in the past, but for generations of elephants now the tusks are the reason they are killed. So, they are evolving without tusks to counter the biggest threat for their survival, humans.

- mnw21cam 10y agoOnly someone who has never seen an elephant use its tusks to rip apart a tree to get the food it needs to eat for the day could seriously ask that question. Elephants evolved tusks because they need them. An elephant without tusks is at a serious disadvantage for all purposes apart from human predation.
