His name is E.T. but he isn't an alien, even though at times he may sound out of this world.
Meet the 3,400 pound Alaskan walrus, e.T. Who lives in Tacoma, Washington at the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium. E.T. was discovered as a pup by oil workers in his native waters and later brought to live at the zoo. Since then, he's become a star and the favorite attraction for many.
According to staff, "E.T. is named for his wrinkled resemblance to alien in the popular 1982 movie 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.'"
E.T. is one of 17 walruses in zoos across the country, and probably the only one with such a fun vocal range.
