Where Does Ivory Come From

Ivory is a hard, white, opaque substance that is the bulk of the teeth and tusks of animals such as the elephant, hippopotamus, walrus, mammoth, narwhal, etc. The word "ivory" was traditionally applied to the tusks of elephants; in fact, the word is ultimately from Ancient Egyptian âb, âbu "elephant".

Yes, from the tusk. Also from walrus. There is supposed to be a world wide band on the collection and trade of ivory.

No, ivory can come from other animals such as hippopotomus and walrus teeth. A rhinoceros horn is not ivory since it is composed of keratin and not enamel.

No, it can come from sperm & killer whales. Hippos, walrus, and other animals, too. Another good source is old piano keys.
