An elephant's tooth weighs as much as ???
-
5 pounds

10 pounds
-
12 pounds
-
2 pounds
D
Correct answer
Explanation
An adult elephant's molar can weigh approximately 2-3 pounds (about 1 kg), with some sources citing up to 3 pounds. These molars are massive and are replaced six times throughout an elephant's lifetime as they wear down from grinding tough vegetation. Options of 5, 10, or 12 pounds are exaggerations.
