Question: what are hog tusks made of?
Answer: The term 'boar's tusk' (in the singular) ordinarily refers to the raw material provided by the lower canines of wild boar (Sus scrofa). These are teeth of continuous growth (i.e. 'tusks', but the term 'tushes' may also be encountered), consisting of dentine, covered on two faces by a layer of enamel.
