An Elephant Never Forgets - Her Friend

(CBS) It's the last thing you'd expect to see emerging from the woods of Tennessee - the last two things actually. Which is why CBS News correspondent Steve Hartman knew the story of Bella and Tarra would be big. He just had no idea how big.

"Tarra and Bella have agents now?" Hartman asked.

"It's all your fault," said Scott Blais, a cofounder of the elephant sanctuary.

"It is all your fault," agreed Carol Buckley, the other cofounder.

Buckley and Blais run The Elephant Sanctuary outside of Nashville.

"When that piece aired we were just bombarded with offers," Buckley said. "Books, movies, any number of things."

If you saw the original story, you know how elephants come here from zoos and circuses one by one - but stay here two by two.

"Every elephant that comes here searches out someone that she then spends most of her time with," Buckley said.
