In 2004, when marine biologist Dr Brian McCormick (Sean C. Michael) stumbled across a recording of mysterious underwater sounds, he launched a scientific investigation to uncover the creature responsible. In search of conclusive proof, he and his research team are called out to an unusual whale stranding in South Africa. Here they find the part digested remains of an animal none of them can identify. As each of its body parts is autopsied, they provide new pieces of the puzzle. As the picture builds, McCormick is drawn to an astonishing conclusion: this new marine creature is related to humans. This two-hour special combines beautiful CGI animation, real natural history, a thrilling contemporary conspiracy theory and a race against time to unveil an ancient secret before it's too late.

Special 1 Mermaids: The Body Found - The Extended Cut

  • 2013-05-26T04:00:00Z — 1h 20m

The program is an extended cut of last year’s special “Mermaids: The Body Found” which became a sensation and garnered some of the highest ratings ever for Animal Planet. Viewers found the mockumentary so convincing that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration – Fisheries division (AKA: NOAA Fisheries) was inundated with phone calls and emails about mermaids.

The new special includes additional footage not aired in last year’s special “Mermaids: The Body Found.” The show claims that mermaids are not the magical water fairies of fairy lore, but cryptozoological creatures. I, addition, it claims that NOAA Fisheries scientists discovered remains of mermaids, but that the government is engaged in a cover up of the incredible discovery. The show features a “talking heads” style format with some great CGI footage of mermaids and their society.
