Sad news 
... Claude was definitely one of a kind 
. People always say you can't make this stuff up, but I guess that's not true with animals like Claude - he stole hearts everywhere 
. He might've had health issues, but the love and care from the academy team kept him going for a long time 
. Can't help but wonder what other surprises he'd give us if he were still around

... Claude was definitely one of a kind . People always say you can't make this stuff up, but I guess that's not true with animals like Claude - he stole hearts everywhere . He might've had health issues, but the love and care from the academy team kept him going for a long time . Can't help but wonder what other surprises he'd give us if he were still around ...
. I mean, who wouldn't love an albino alligator with a personality as cool as his scales? 
He was more than just a mascot for the California Academy of Sciences - he was a beloved friend to everyone who met him. It's crazy to think about how much joy he brought to people all around the world through those live streams and social media appearances 
. I'm glad the academy is planning a memorial, that sounds like a great way to celebrate his life and the impact he had on so many people 
. It's really sad that he was stuck in captivity for most of his life, but at least we can take comfort in knowing that he lived an amazing life and inspired people to care about conservation 
.
anyway, it's crazy that he got to live his best life in a museum 
with top-notch care and adoration from fans 
i wonder what was going through his mind when he'd get all those gifts 
and fan mail 
i'm definitely looking forward to the public memorial 
to celebrate his life and legacy 
do you think they'll be showing any old vids of him on the livestream?
