Mermaids: The Body Found was a 2012 Found Footage Mockumentary by Animal Planet about a Government Conspiracy to not only hide their research into an underwater sonic weapon, but to cover up the discovery of real mermaids.
Tropes used in Mermaids: The Body Found include:
- Cat Scare: The cell phone video near the end features the seemingly-dead mermaid sitting up and screeching at one of the kids checking its "corpse".
- Found Footage Films[context?]
- Government Conspiracy[context?]
- Our Mermaids Are Different: The show carefully makes the evolution of hominids into aquatic creatures a plausible concept, using biological possibilities to pose an evolutionary "what if?" scenario.
- Mockumentary[context?]
- Stealth Mentor: Even more subtlely than Lost Tapes. For examples, the documentary notes that Navy sonar tests have been directly implicated in whale beachings, and "The Bloop" is a real phenomenon, though no one knows what it is.
