'''Grave Tusk''' is the second [[Tusk]] boss in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]''.

The only way to dodge this attack is to get into a corner that the laser will skip. Again, [[Donkey Kong]] must throw [[Pineapple]]s at him to reveal and attack his heart. Grave Tusk seems to be fought in the desert.
