As he would later recall about visiting Long Beach's Marineland of the Pacific, which closed down in 1987, 'Its pool had been drained for cleaning-the walrus was stranded at the bottom, moaning-and that was the sound!' But it took some doing: Burtt would travel to oceanariums on the off chance that their walruses would give him just the right sound. 'Mostly bears, with a dash of walrus, dog, and lion thrown in,' Burtt once said simply when asked how he found the sounds to create the character of Chewbacca's voice.
