"A San Francisco-wide scavenger hunt with the prize of a plushie in the shape of him. You can pick up a new library card with his image. A glamorous swamp soiree will take place in his honor, featuring dinner made by "Top Chef" alum Melissa King followed by dancing on Wed/10. A second children's book about him is coming out."
"Claude's "hatch day" was September 15, 1995. He was born on an alligator farm in Louisiana and was originally about the size of a banana as a baby (cute!) Claude's lack of melanin and poor eyesight means he can't survive in the wild, and he was stationed for the first 13 years of his life at St. Augustine Alligator Farm in Florida."
"Even when it's not his birthday, Claude receives fan letters, poems, art-and once, a $5 bill. But with delectable frozen rats and fish delivered straight to his maw, a swamp to live in along with three snapping turtle pals (Donatello, Raphael, and Morla, which you may recognize as names of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), Claude has no need of lucre."
Claude is an albino alligator at the California Academy of Sciences celebrating his 30th birthday in September. Celebrations include a citywide scavenger hunt with a plushie prize, a library card bearing his image, a glamorous swamp soiree with dinner by "Top Chef" alum Melissa King and dancing, and a September 14 party with an ice "cake," cupcakes for human guests, photo opportunities, and a birthday sing-along. Claude hatched on September 15, 1995, was born on a Louisiana alligator farm, cannot survive in the wild due to albinism and poor eyesight, and lives in a swamp habitat with three snapping turtle companions. He receives fan mail and gifts and is fed frozen rats and fish.
