Claude the Louisiana Black Bear – Claude is a salt of the earth kind of bear (or, as they say in the bayou, “salt of the mound”) who plays his horn along with the other members of his family. He’s a tinkerer who loves to create with things found in the forest, and is frequently funny without intending to be, especially when it comes to his home-grown creations.

Creative critters will delight bayou audiences when Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opens this summer. Experience the Zydeco sounds and makeshift instruments played by a ragtag band of bayou critters this summer at Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista Fla and later this year in Disneyland in Anaheim, Ca.
