Additional Information:

For those unfamiliar, yes — do hippos have tusks? Absolutely. In fact, hippopotamuses are known for their large and powerful tusks, which are actually elongated incisors made of dense ivory. These hippo tusks, sometimes referred to as ivory hippo teeth, are distinct from elephant ivory in both appearance and texture, often sought after for carving, collecting, and ornamental use.

Whether you’re a collector searching for hippo tusk for sale, an artisan interested in hippo ivory, or simply intrigued by rare wildlife artifacts, this set of hippopotamus tusks is a legal, ethical, and historically valuable acquisition.
