Memorial Tribute for Claude the Alligator 1995-2025
Sunday, January 18th, 2026 at 7:48:26 PM · 2026/Claude Forever: A Celebration of Life
This memorial display centers on a dark green poster featuring a painted white/cream colored alligator with the dates "1995-2025" and the name "CLAUDE" at the top. The surface below is covered with dozens of handmade tribute cards, drawings, and notes from mourners. Messages include "We Will Miss", "RIP Claude", "Claude went straight to Heaven", and various artistic renderings of alligators. The collection shows a community's outpouring of grief and affection for what appears to have been a beloved zoo or aquarium resident. Additional memorial materials and photographs can be seen posted on the wall behind the main display.
