Ocucajea is an extinct genus of basilosaurid cetacean from Middle Eocene (Bartonian stage) deposits of southern Peru Ocicaje desert. The researchers from from the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM) discovered the fossil and named it the Ocucaje predator. It Ocucajea is known from the holotype MUSM 1442, a partial skeleton. It was collected in the Archaeocete Valley site, from the Paracas Formation of the Pisco Basin about 40.4 to 37.2 million years ago.[1]

Life restoration The paleobiologists discovered two specimens of basilosaurids. They named the smaller one Ocucajea pickingi, based on the town Ocucaje in the Ica Province near the type locality, and the species after José Luis Pickling Zolezzi, naturalist, artist, and a vital contributor to Peruvian palaeontology.[2] The larger basilosaurid is named Supayacetus muizoni, after the Incan god of death.

The Ocucaje Predator was about 39 feet to 55 feet long. The Skull is about four feet long. From snout to tail is about 39 feet long. The skull is in good preservation, which could mean that the Ocucaje is at the top of the food chain. Its teeth are complete and the paleobiologists couldn’t find other similar specimens discovered worldwide. The newest basilosaurus that UNMSM discovered is one of the largest predators of that time, feeding on penguins and fish. The researchers also discovered that no other similar specimens have been found worldwide. Ocucajea is smaller than all other dorudontines. It differs from Saghacetus and Dorudon in cranial morphology; in Ocucajea the nasals extends further posteriorly than the maxillae, and there is no narial process of the frontal like in Saghacetus.[3] Ocucage’s body move like a giant snake, which refers back to Basilosaurus, meaning “king lizard”.
