"there will be a large, public (and free!) celebration of life for the deceased 30-year-old gator at the Golden Gate Bandshell. It is still a melancholy topic, particularly for frequent patrons of Golden Gate Park's California Academy of Sciences, that the beloved 30-year-old albino alligator Claude who resided there died in early December from liver cancer. His passing left an albino alligator-shaped hole not only at the Academy of Sciences, but in the collective morale of San Francisco."
"We're really excited that we're able to celebrate this big guy later this month, with a free celebration on January 18, she told KTVU. We're going to have music, art, speeches, we're inviting everyone in the community to come join and celebrate. Following that ceremony (scheduled to wrap at 1pm), the Academy of Sciences says that inside the museum, they'll be hosting "special programming, craft activities, and an artisan marketplace featuring commemorative Claude souvenirs available for purchase from local vendors."
