Just when you thought Discovery was playing games... SURPRISE! Aint karma a bizatch!!!? Megalodons are real after all. "The episode featured vivid segments such researchers recounting their attempts to tag a megalodon from a submerged shark cage, and supposed video footage of a South African charter vessel that capsized after something (presumably a shark of monstrous size) rammed and/or bit it. Of course, the faux "researchers" in this episode never did find hard evidence of a living megalodon (they claimed to have tagged something that escaped by supposedly diving deeper than any known shark, but they didn't get a good look at it). And if something chomped and capsized a vessel off the coast of Cape Town, South Africa, on 5 April 2013, killing several people, the South African press apparently didn't find that event noteworthy enough to report on at all. The megalodon species of shark did exist, and it's not absolutely impossible that an undocumented species of huge shark lives in the oceans' depths (after all, it was only fairly recently that scientists documented the existence of the giant squid). But no such discovery or substantive evidence about living megalodons was at hand in the 2013 "Shark Week" premiere, and as Christie Wilcox wrote in a Discover blog entry, the possibility that some megalodons might still be around isn't even a subject of genuine inquiry or controversy among legitimate scientists:" Read more at http://www.snopes.com/critters/malice/megalodon.asp#ClawHRTcHRwcCC5S.99
