As one of the keeper's at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium in Tacoma, Washington, shouted out instructions for different vocal styles, the happy Walrus gladly obliged.

His styles ranged from long low bellows, to growls and even a whistle at one point.

One of E.T's more bizarre noises comes from him repeatedly shaking his head while letting out a loud bellow. The talented animal also manages to make a strange noise from his throat.

Unsurprisingly, E.T. is one of the star attractions at the zoo.

He was found as a pup by oil workers in Alaska in 1982, starving and orphaned and was given the name - taken from the famous film.

The Walrus was taken to Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium where he was raised and he now weighs a healthy 3,400 pounds.

He currently shares his living space at the zoo with female walruses Basilla and Joan. It is hoped they will establish a breeding group.

Lets hope they like his singing.
