Paleontologists unveiled the fossilized remains of an ancient monster whale found in a desert in southern Peru which was an ocean in prehistoric times.</p>
<p>
&quot;We have presented the new Peruvian basilosaurus, it is the complete skull of an archaic whale that lived 36 million years ago,&quot; paleontologist Mario Urbina, head of the team that discovered the skeleton, told AFP.</p>
<p>
Urbina said the basilosaurus was found at the end of 2021 in the Ocucaje Desert in the Ica department, about 350 kilometers south of Lima. The desolate landscape was a shallow sea millions of years ago, and its dunes have yielded large numbers of striking primitive sea mammal remains.</p>
<p>
Scientists said these fossils help to reconstruct the history of the Peruvian sea.</p>
<p>
The &quot;Ocucaje Predator,&quot; was about 55 feet long and used its massive, powerful teeth to feed on tuna, sharks and schools of sardines.</p>
<p>
The animal was one of the largest predators of its time and considered to be at the top of the food chain.</p>
