Fuck, I just looked at the same page and it said docufiction, just re-looked it up and I got that page. My bad I guess, but I was pretty sure it was a mockumentary.
that doesnt magically mean that you could somehow splice the genes together and make a creature that is an even split between the two, pretty sure thats still scientifically impossible (even for nature)
I'm 90% sure that the Body Found was made to look like a documentary, but most facts are fictional. I have yet to see the New Evidence as I was doing shit Sunday night, but i will when I have time
"But the whole thing is a hoax -- the original documentary was revealed to be staged. Discovery, Animal Planet's parent company, described the program as "science fiction" based on "scientific theory."
The executive producer of "Mermaids: The New Evidence" told the Mother Nature Network that he wanted people to think it was real -- that's why they made it look like a documentary."
