The Song of the Walrus

Jambo, everybody! Mr. Nature here; and today our safari takes us to the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium to visit their singing walrus, “E.T.”

Somehow it has never occurred to me before that walruses might have voices. Now I know better.

I wonder what it would be like, to be aboard a little ship in Arctic waters, late at night, with the whole scene shrouded in fog so you can barely see your hand in front of your face–and then, from out of the foggy darkness, you hear… this.

If you didn’t know it was a walrus, what would you think?
