You can name him whatever, but I'm going to have a hard time not calling him anything but Ganesh in a Suit.

All elephants do look racist but it's better now that they don't wear the pointed hoods.

I love Babar. Doesn't he occasionally comment here?

It's totally understandable that elephants would harbor some racial resentment, given the Tusk-egee experiment.

He would look more like Babar to me if he didn't have human feet.
