It’s thought there are fewer than 200 albino alligators in the world, and this memorial will pay tribute to Claude equally rare accomplishment: the “power of ambassador animals to connect people to nature and stoke curiosity to learn more about the world around us,” as the academy has put it.
The free event will feature stories, speeches and performances, as well as activities for all ages of alligator enthusiasts. Maybe you’ll learn that Claude loved to hang out on a warm rock with his close buds, a trio of snapping turtles, or that he loved back scratches and eating fish heads and previously frozen rats (“ratsicles”). For anybody who can’t make it, the celebration will be live-streamed; check the academy’s event page for details.
