Claude is turning 29 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!

Say Happy Hatchday to Claude
Hi pretty boy!
Have a wonderful hatch day, Claude! We hope you receive all the treats you want, and then some. Here's to many more hatch days, and we'll see you soon!
Love, your friends Julie, Patrick, Octavia, Prescott, Valencia, Drumm, and Starr

Dear Claude
How have you been. It's been about 6 months since I've seen you. You are the coolest Alligator in the world. Everybody loves you and you brightened my day when my Aunt and Uncle took me to see you. Happy Hatch day.
Love the McAlister family
