Hi,

Is Elephant ear really from an elephant? I have always wondered.

Why is ivory illegal but Elephant ear ok?

When you consider the volume of material in one ear compared to cost per volume for ivory, there is no way these two costs per volume from one elephant makes any sense. IMO.

Inquiring minds want to know.
