On Sunday, hundreds of people gathered in Golden Gate Park to celebrate the life and legacy of a San Francisco icon. The California Academy of Sciences honored Claude, the beloved albino alligator. Claude was 30 years old and lived at the academy for 17 years until his death last month. Sunday's festivities included a NOLA-style second line parade in a nod to Claude's Louisiana roots, a Claude costume contest for kids and stories shared by the late gator's care team.

"The people have spoken and there is overwhelming support for Music Concourse Drive to adopt the moniker 'Claude the Alligator Way,'" said Melgar. "For generations to come, a stroll in the park or a visit to the Academy of Sciences will still remind all of Claude's fans and followers of his impact. With this street name, he will always continue to make San Francisco proud."
