According to the Himalayan query, "long hair and short hair ivory" refers to the difference between mammoth ivory and modern ivory. Mammoth ivory has long and light hair, usually white or milky white; Modern ivory has short hair and dark color, usually gray or black. At the same time, mammoth ivory production is less, so the price is higher; Modern ivory produces more, so the price is relatively low. It should be noted that ivory is a precious material, and we should try our best to protect wild animals and abide by the relevant provisions of the International Ivory Convention.

The origin of mammoth ivory is mainly concentrated in the permafrost region of Siberia, and the Lerner River in Russia is one of the more famous producing areas. In addition, mammoth ivory has also been found in permafrost in Alaska and other places. Most of these mammoth tusks are well preserved and can be used to make sculptures and other handicrafts. Due to the preciousness of mammoth ivory and the necessity of protecting wild animals, we should abide by the relevant provisions of the International Ivory Convention and do not buy, carry or use illegal ivory products.
