A professional museum display panel commemorating Claude, a rare albino alligator who lived at the Academy from 2008 to 2025. The exhibit features a large central photograph of the white alligator resting on rocks against a turquoise blue background. Below are three informational sections with images showing Claude's habitat, his care routine, and details about alligator armor. The panel includes a timeline marking his hatching in Louisiana in 1995, his move to the Academy in 2008, and his passing in 2025. The display is mounted on a concrete wall and includes an interactive 'Touch me!' element featuring what appears to be a tactile sample of alligator skin.
