For most crimes women (and the very young, the very old, and the infirm) could commute corporal punishment with cash payment. The only exception was a kind of sorcery (qu) involving the collecting of poison from scorpions and other venomous insects, which seems to have been regarded as a particularly female crime.
Ivory poaching for tusks is the main reason that elephants have been so heavily hunted. Elephant ivory has been used in huge amounts to make billiards balls, piano keys, identification chops and many other items for human enjoyment.here is also a display element to tusks and they can attract the interest of females. Evidence suggests that elephants normally prefer one tusk over the other, similar to being left or right handed in humans. The preferred tusk is known as the master tusk.
The material in elephant tusks is called ivory, and these tusks grow as the animal grows. The ivory is formed from the dentine of the elephant, and also from that of the hippo â¦ , the walrus, the narwhal, and the now-extinct mammoth.bout 15% of female narwhals have these tusks. The truth is, scientists don't yet know why m â¦ ost males have them, and most females don't. They do, however, know that the so-called tusk is really a tooth that has grown through the upper lip.
