Background
Claude was hatched on September 15, 1995, in Florida, weighing Шаблон:Convert.[1] He weighs Шаблон:Convert and is Шаблон:Convert long.[2] He has 76 teeth.[1]
He was in danger in the wilderness owing to albinism which did not allow him to camouflage into his surroundings like other alligators. There are only a couple of dozen known albino alligators in the world, all in captivity.[3] Claude was taken to the California Academy of Sciences in 2008.[1] In 2009, a finger on Claude's right claw was amputated after developing an infection from being bitten by another alligator.[4]
Claude appears completely white because he lacks the pigment melanin.[5] He also has poor eye-sight due to his albinism.[1]
