NETIZENS expressed awe and curiosity after a man recently took to TikTok to reveal his extraordinary find – the tooth of an elephant.
According to the video by @duan8302, he was on his way into the jungle when he spotted the tooth in a river.
He is seen holding the massive tooth which is uniquely shaped and caught many by surprise.
“I don’t know if its valuable, but I am sure it is worth something. I believe this is the upper part and used for chewing,” he said.
The man believes the elephant shed its tooth before it died.
According to reports, elephants have a unique dental system where their teeth, including the tusks, are continuously replaced throughout their lives.
They have six sets of molars, which are replaced as they wear down from grinding food.
The teeth, including the tusks, are used for various purposes, such as chewing, digging, and even fighting.
Netizens took to the comments secion to share their own experiences with wildlife discoveries, while others said they were amazed at the size of the tooth. – April 21, 2025
