It is pertinent to mention here that netizens have been fuming about the word 'invading' as they believe it is quite a natural phenomenon when crocodiles come to land in order to get direct sunlight. One of the users revealed where might be the crocodiles have gathered.
One of the users wrote, "It's in the Pantanal Wetlands of Brazil, which are about 10x the size of the Everglades and home to 10 million caimans, and these are yacare caimans gathering around a water hole during the dry season to fish and cool down."

Another user wrote, "Those are caimans not crocodiles They’re traveling or migrating a long distance like birds do They stop on the beach because the tide turned & the current is flowing in opposite direction from where they want to go."

"These are yacare caiman, and like other crocodilians, they're ectothermic, or "cold-blooded". To raise their body temperature, they venture onto land, exposing themselves to direct sunlight. Additionally, this isn't a coastal beach, as shown in longer versions of the video," wrote another user.

"That’s in Pantanal, the largest continuous flooded plain in the world, and it’s a completely common scene in that region. To be more specific, that’s the Nabileque river (Rio Nabileque), city of Corumbá, State of Mato Grosso do Sul, Central-West Brazil," wrote another user.
