Before long both elephants arrived at my place and I startred work on them right away. I named the female "Billie" and the male "Teddy"...."Teddy" remained with C&B for a few years then Adios Amigo! Source

"Teddy" remained with Carson & Barnes for about three seasons and was then sold to Mexico. Source
