E.T. the walrus was a famous resident at the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium in Tacoma, Washington. During his life, E.T. (who got his name because of his resemblance to the alien from the 1982 movie) was a celebrity for being one of only 17 walruses living in U.S. zoos and aquariums.
Sadly, E.T. passed away during surgery last summer. However, this lovable, giant walrus will live on through the many terrifying videos of him practicing his vocalizations that are floating around online.
That is just incredibly freaky. I wonder if all walruses sound like that in the wild, or if E.T. was just a special kind of guy.
