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
Dear Claude,
Happy birthday! I wish I could give you a dinosaur cake.
Love, Farah

Dearest Claude,
You are by far the coolest Zillennial at the California Academy of Sciences!

Dear Claude,
Happy 27th Hatchday! Thank you for being the best Academy animal (don't tell the others I said that). It's truly a joy to see what you're up to every time I pass the Swamp. I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to teach guests about you and your amazing species. Keep up the good work, and try not to fool us when being indecisive about getting up on your rock. (We love you regardless.)
Love, Laura

Dear Claude
I am so happy to see you every time I come into the Academy! I love your serene presence no matter how busy the Academy is, and the excitement you cause with the shortest swims around your habitat.
