  "At that time his name was not Appu.The name of the official mascot was an imaginary one.Since the mascot resembled the baby elephant, he subsequently came to be known as Appu," said Cheeran.
  
  Nambiar said Appu was earlier known as Kuttinarayanan and got the new name after his return from Asiad.
  
  The expert too said he was "amused" at the "wrong reports".

  Jacob Cheeran, one of India's foremost elephant experts, doubts the possibility of pygmy elephants being spotted near a wildlife forest at Peppara in the capital district.
  ...
  But Cheeran said DNA tests were needed to prove such findings. "DNAs can be easily tested through samples of elephant dung because in the dung there is always a presence of mucus.The collection is not a problem and the testing can be done at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore," said Cheeran who is a member of the Project Elephant committee. After seeing the photograph also said the ear of an adult elephant curves inwards and in the published picture, no such inward curve was visible. According to him, the presence of pygmy elephants had not been scientifically proved in places other than Africa. He said he too had heard local tribes in southern Kerala talking about pygmy elephants, which they call 'kallana', but till date no one else had seen them. "So I have my doubts and I hope the authorities will do the tests," said Cheeran.
