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

Hi Claude,
I hope you received my last card, and I hope you are having the best birthday ever. Have fun with your turtles. By the way they are named after Ninja Turtles. Most of them.
Hugs, Sam
