A relationship based on 27 populations of tiger muskie from 9 states was used to develop a specific equation for tiger muskie and computed that c = 0.00008035 and b = 3.337. [15] This relationship predicts that a 84 cm (33 in) tiger muskie will weigh about 4.5 kg (10 lb) , and a 120 cm (47 in) tiger muskie will weigh about 14 kg (30 lb).
An African elephant in Tanzania, with visible tusks. Tusks are elongated, continuously growing front teeth that protrude well beyond the mouth of certain mammal species. They are most commonly canine teeth, as with narwhals, chevrotains, musk deer, water deer, muntjac, pigs, peccaries, hippopotamuses and walruses, or, in the case of elephants, elongated incisors.
Tusks are continuously growing incisors. Typically, adult elephant teeth comprise 12 premolars, 12 molars, and two tusks. These twin teeth are composed of four layers, the outermost being the enamel.
A muskie will have seven or more per side, while the northern pike never has more than six. The lobes of the caudal (tail) fin in muskellunge come to a sharper point, while those of northern pike are more generally rounded. In addition, unlike pike, muskies have no scales on the lower half of their opercula. [citation needed]

The molar teeth of Palaeoloxodon species typically show a "dot-dash-dot" wear pattern, [16] with the enamel folds concentrated into a major central structure at the midline of the tooth, which are flanked by smaller folds on either side, and the crowns of the tooth are generally proportionally narrow. [17]
The number of teeth and their function can vary widely between species, with some dolphins having over a hundred teeth in their jaws, while the narwhal has two functional teeth in its upper jaw which grow into long tusks in males. The tusk is used in feeding, navigation and mating and contains millions of sensory pathways, making it the most ...
Muskie anglers have reported high catch rates in the lake, with some fish now reaching the 42-inch huskie muskie size. The muskellunge daily limit at C.J. Brown Reservoir is one fish of any size.
