Elephants that are poached for ivory are shot dead, anon.

>>2436288
No anon, you got it wrong, the ones who didn't have tusks (geneticallly) weren't killed. If u not ded fucc and have babies.

Same anon, so basically speaking, the poaching has become too fucking high that the gene pool is losing the tusk genes, and i may be saying shit, but i think in 50 ~ 100 years there wont be tusked elephants and they'll be smaller.

Whoever suggested that is a moron. Poachers will usually shoot an animal without tusks or a horn in the case of rhinos, so they don't end up wasting their time tracking it again.

what the fuck
are there really people who are dumb enough to come to such conclusions ?

half of your genes are passed on to your offspring
losing something like a part of your body doesn't change your genetic code as it is found in the nucleus of every cell in you, it can't be changed without changing every single cell making up your body
Mutations happen in the formation of gametes

I don't know why I'm so upset about this but I can't believe what I'm reading
is it me or is there an inflow of retards/baits on /an/ recently ?

Go look at the meta thread. Explains a lot of the retardation recently.

oh yeah thanks
it explains a lot of things

>>2436288
Poachers kill animals missing their ivory just so they don't have to track it again.

It's sad that evolution is working faster on elephant conservation than we are. Thanks, China.
