First things first, this isn’t some random touristy beach in Brazil. The crocodilians seen in the viral video are in the Pantanal Wetlands of Brazil which is around ten times the size of the Florida Everglades. /1 https://t.co/11XRPUzBpP

The viral video showing a ‘Crocodile Invasion’ in Brazil that has the locals ‘panicking’ is just a cool nature video that’s being mischaracterized. /3

They posted footage of the caimans on September 1st and from there it made its way to Twitter and Reddit, each time being framed as ‘locals are FREAKING OUT’ when in reality, the Pantanal is the largest wetland on planet earth. /5
