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!

Say Happy Hatchday to Claude
Dear Claude,
Happy Hatchday! Your best days are ahead of you. Please get plenty of rest and don’t overdo it today. I will be there soon to wish you a happy hatchday in person!
With love and respect, Elisabeth
