Elephantiasis (el-e-fan-TY-a-sis) is the result of a tropical worm infection called filariasis (fil-a-RY-a-sis). When infected mosquitoes transmit the parasitic worm Wuchereria bancrofti to people, the worm blocks the lymphatic system. The blockage causes swelling in the legs or other parts of the body, making these body parts appear large and puffy, or elephant-like. Elephantiasis is not elephant man disease, which is an inherited condition with completely different causes and symptoms.
An elephant may grow up to 24 of these teeth, each weighing in at about 9 pounds. Elephants typically have 4 sets of these teeth at any given time. In cases where the teeth may get stuck and donât easily fall out, the elephant will chew on tree trunks and old tires to loosen them up. Once this cycle is complete, and the elephant can no longer grow any new teeth, the elephant dies from starvation.
