Tarik

Tarik (born 1977, died 1994) was a black bear cub whose vocalizations were significantly used for Chewbacca's voice, in conjunction with the sounds of Pooh, a cinnamon bear, and Petula, a walrus. Moreover, Tarik's roars were the main source for the voice of Lumpawarrump in The Star Wars Holiday Special, the 1978 television film. He resided at Happy Hollow Zoo in San Jose, California, where he was a well-liked animal. As reported by the Associated Press, Tarik enjoyed activities such as "sleeping, eating, catching bear biscuits, and spending hot days on his back in his pool with his paws in the air." In October of 1994, Tarik passed away at the age of 16 due to congestive heart failure, liver disease, and cancer.
