The girl killed by the Mosasaurus was Zara Young.

Zara Young

Zara Young was the personal assistant to Claire Dearing, the park operations manager of Jurassic World. Her role involved ensuring the safety and well-being of Claire's nephews, Zach and Gray Mitchell, during their visit to the park.

Role and Demise

Zara was tasked with supervising Zach and Gray when a catastrophic incident unfolded at Jurassic World. During a coordinated aerial assault by Pteranodons and Dimorphodons, Zara was snatched from the boardwalk above the Mosasaurus Lagoon.

Her death was particularly notable within the Jurassic Park series. After being carried through the air and repeatedly dropped into the lagoon by multiple Pteranodons, she ultimately met her demise when she was swallowed whole by the park's resident Mosasaurus. She holds the distinction of being the first human character explicitly shown to be killed by the Mosasaurus in the film series. Furthermore, Zara was the first significant female character to die in the franchise, preceding other notable deaths like the woman in the elevator killed by the Indoraptor in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

Her death scene emphasized the terrifying power and unpredictability of the park's creatures when containment fails.
