Honor Claude's legacy with a gift to the place he called home.
Thank you for your gift in memory of Claude, the albino alligator.
Claude was an iconic California Academy of Sciences resident who many visitors formed deep connections with during his 17 year tenure. He brought joy to millions of people at the museum and across the world, his quiet charisma captivating the hearts of fans of all ages. Claude showed us the power of ambassador animals to connect people to nature and stoke curiosity to learn more about the world around us.

We’re growing a movement for nature. Help us put down roots.
The Academy is a beloved museum with a bold mission: To regenerate the natural world. We’re tackling the twin crises of climate change and biodiversity loss through innovative programs that breed endangered species, restore damaged ecosystems, and advocate for urban nature.
The missing piece? You. That’s why we launched the Regeneration Circle—a vibrant collective of Academy supporters who are ready for action and ready to commit to saving the places and species dear to us.
