Among North American animals, only walruses and elk have ivory teeth. In walruses these are tusks, but in elk they are anatomically similar to the remaining teeth. These ivories, also called "buglers" or "whistlers," rest in the upper jaw, on each side of the incisors, or front teeth. In prehistoric times, these ivory teeth were perhaps 6 to 8 inches long.
