SF Icon Claude the Alligator Dies 🐊💔
San Francisco lost Claude, the albino alligator at Cal Academy, at 30. From Louisiana swamp to Golden Gate Park, he enchanted visitors for 17 years. Turtle friends, a feisty rival, and a huge birthday celebration. Share your Claude story. #calacademy

I'm heartbroken! Claude and the swamp section were always the part of visiting CalAcademy I looked forward to the most. I still have the toy I bought when I was like 19.

Rest in peace to a bay area icon...

Did you know there’s a California native plant garden on the roof of CalAcademy of Sciences? Neither did I, until Friday!

The CalAcademy folks don't adhere to accepting taxonomic updates from Russia.

Anecdote here: there was a Discovery Store at the Corte Madera Village circa 99 to about 2003- it did sell science and educational stuff like this, but did not have the ceiling theming. Honestly not that long ago the gift shop at CalAcademy looked a bit like this too, more recent example.
Stores used to look like this.

On April 20, 1982, 4 alligators stayed in our lily pond while their home at @calacademy was being resurfaced. One of the gators bit through a keeper's steel-toed boot and into his big toe!

Wish Claude a Happy Hatchday and come visit the Conservatory of Flowers - we promise we won't bite!
