A nearly 400-pound alligator named Lola has been living in an Idaho hot spring for over 20 years.
Twin Falls, ID, October 26, 2026 —
A nearly 400-pound alligator named Lola has been living in an Idaho hot spring for more than 20 years, according to the available account. The brief description identifies Lola and her reported size and long-term residence, but provides few details about the animal or the spring.
The exact location of the hot spring was not provided. The account also does not say how Lola came to live there, who is responsible for her, or whether the spring is part of a public or private facility. No information was provided about her age, health, daily care or the conditions in which she is kept.
Details about permits, inspections or any official review were not included. It is therefore not possible from the available information to establish whether authorities have assessed the arrangement or what rules may apply. The account also does not describe how visitors, if any, interact with Lola.
The reported duration—more than two decades—offers a broad timeline, but no starting year or specific dates were given. The figure of nearly 400 pounds is likewise presented without a measurement date or explanation of how it was determined.
Further information would be needed to clarify Lola’s history and current circumstances. For now, the available account establishes only that an alligator known as Lola, weighing nearly 400 pounds, has reportedly lived in an Idaho hot spring for over 20 years.
