What is the week long programming block on the Discovery Chanel featuring docufiction Zombie Shark?
Zombie Shark Zombie Shark is a docufiction program by Discovery Channel for the 2014 Shark Week. The premise of the program is that sharks can be brought into a state of tonic immobility (a kind of trance) by flipping them on their back, and that this characteristic might explain how a supposed series of Great white shark killings occurred: the suggestion is that Orcas have developed that skill and are thus able to kill large numbers of sharks. "Zombie Shark", indeed much of Discovery's 2014 programming, was panned by critics, with the "Houston Press" claiming that Discovery had jumped the shark.
Megalodon: The Monster Shark Lives Megalodon: The Monster Shark Lives is a 2014 mockumentary first aired on American TV network Discovery Channel about the possible survival of the prehistoric shark. The story, with only short disclaimers at the beginning and ending indicating that it is fictional, revolves around the loss of a fishing boat and all of its crew off the coast of Cape Town, South Africa and an ensuing investigation that points to an attack by a member of the species "megalodon", a prehistoric shark thought to be long extinct. Its format is that of a documentary that includes accounts of "professionals" in various fields related to "Megalodon". It follows a similar format to another docufiction aired by Discovery Channel, "".
