While elephants brn withut tusks（长牙）are nt unheard f，they nrmally frm just 2 t 6 percent f the ppulatin. Hwever，that is nt the case at Mzambique’s Grngsa Natinal Park，where an astnishing 33 percent f female elephants brn after the cuntry’s civil war ended in 1992 are tuskless. While that may appear t be just a cincidence，Jyce Ple，an elephant behavir expert，has anther thery. She thinks we may be witnessing the unnatural evlutin f the species due t the cnstant hunting f elephants fr valuable ivry.
Ple says befre the cuntry’s 15-year-ln civil war，the 100，000-acre park was hme t ver 4，000 elephants. Hwever，by the time the cnflict ended in 1992，abut 90 percent f them had been killed fr ivry t help finance weapns（武器）and meat t feed the sldiers. Of the less than 200 survivrs., ver 50 percent f adult females had n tusks. Therefre，it is nt surprising that the parks tuskless elephant ppulatin has grwn greatly.
This is nt the first time researchers have bserved a great change in the ppulatin f elephants. At Zambia’s Suth Luangwa Natinal Park and Lupande game Management Area, areas whse s were heavily hunted in the 1970s and 1980s, 35% f elephants 25 years ld r abve and13% f thse yunger than 25 are nw withut tusks. A study published in 2008 fund that the number f tuskless females at the Ruaha Natinal Park in Tanzania went frm 10.5 percent in 1969 t almst 40 percent in 1989, largely due t illegal hunting fr Ivry.
The recent ban n ivry in bth the US and China shuld help get rid f, r at least reduce elephant hunting. Hwever, scientists are nt sure hw lng it will take the elephants with a higher rate f tuskless females t change the trend.
