Acre conspiracy

The Acre conspiracy (Portuguese: Conspiração do Acre) is a satirical conspiracy theory claiming that the Brazilian state of Acre does not exist or is inhabited by dinosaurs. This humorous theory is the Brazilian equivalent of that attached to the German city of Bielefeld. It was studied in scholar articles.

The meme has even been used by the Secretary of Tourism of the Government of Brazil, who proposed placing dinosaurs on the entrance sign to the state as a tourist attraction. The videographer Moisés Santos also used the joke of the presence of dinosaurs in the state to dress in a 2.20-meter-tall dinosaur costume, a fact that had a great impact on social networks.
