I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob.

You'll have to travel to Turkey to witness this:
A walrus has become a star attraction with visitors at a zoo by learning to play the saxophone...

Under the direction of her trainer, Sara the Walrus grips the brass instrument between her flippers and blasts out a note.
Wetsuit-clad Russian trainer Sergiy has also taught her to strike a nonchalant pose, leaning on a work top with one flipper under her chin and looking bored.

Sara's skills at mimicking humans extend to dressing up as a railway platform conductor and blowing a whistle.
Walruses have not been this musical since John Lennon sang I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together. See a clip of Sara below:
