Ologies with Alie Ward

Hippopotomology (HIPPOS) with Rebecca Lewison

1183.385 - 1210.05 Alie Ward

And though females do have smaller teeth than the males, male tusks can be over 20 inches long or 60 centimeters. Why so big? Because they use them to gore the mouths of their rivals in this spitty, bloody jab battle. It looks like chewing on glass.
