Claude is turning 28 years young on September 15! We'll honor our favorite alligator with albinism with a smorgasbord of tasty treats (including fresh trout!) and a special birthday edition of Swamp Talk. Thanks for celebrating with us—Claude (and his team of attentive Academy biologists) really feel the love!

Claudie Baby,
Thank you for being such a great listener.
xoxo, Sara Beth

Dear Claude,
Just want to let you know that you're always the first one I say Hi to when I come to the Academy, and I always stop to say Bye before I leave. Happy Hatch Day!

Happy Hatchday Claude
You are special, Claude. Usually, you are chilling around. But when you move a little, or open your eyes, it is just amazing. Wish you a long, happy, and healthy life! Thank you for bringing us joy whenever we visit you.
With lots of love, Aarya & Shrimat

Dear Claude,
I've seen you many times and marvel at your stillness. How do you do that?I think your NOT MOVING is a superpower. We send wishes for a happy and healthy year ahead! PS: Did you know Antionne LeBlanc?
