Clyde
(The Gentle Giant)
Tipping the scales at a hefty 315 pounds (143 kilograms) with an 8-foot (2.4-meter) arm reach and a truly epic coat of hair, it's a really good thing Clyde is gentle. Father of Satu, Clyde is known for his patience, tolerance, and a major love for sleeping in (and not just on weekends). Clyde can often be seen sitting atop the jungle gym to quietly contemplate the world around him.
