An elephant's tusks are made of ivory. Technically, all animals with teeth have ivory, which is composed of a creamy white substance called dentin that makes up the bulk of teeth. However, some animals have particularly large teeth or tusks that lend themselves to harvesting, such as elephants, hippopotami, and whales. Ivory from these animals has been used for centuries in decorative art, and in the manufacture of objects such as pianos and billiard balls. Concerns about declining populations of elephants in particular have led to restrictions on the global trade, and many craftspeople are starting to seek out alternatives such as high quality plastics or tagua, also known as vegetable ivory. Walruses are known for their large ivory tusks, as is the case with elephants and whales.
