The last two decades of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century were marked by news on the existence of huge bones of fantastic beasts that have inhabited Minas Gerais State and northeastern Brazil. The localities of Rio das Ostras in Bahia State and Pão de Açúcar in Alagoas State were mentioned by Manuel Aires de Casal on his Corografia Brasílica (1817). In this work, despite gathering information about many Brazilian regions, Aires de Casal has not referred to fossil findings already reported and known by the local population. This fact shows that Aires de Casal was mainly an outstanding file and libraries investigator instead of a traveler interested on the natural resources of Brazil. As an enlightened man he did some considerations on the bones, which were interpreted as extinct elephants that once inhabited the northeastern Brazilian bushes
