History[]
Early life[]
The Doe was one of the seven T. rex cloned by InGen on Isla Sorna. She and a male of her species had a son in 1997.
The Lost World: Jurassic Park[]
Isla Sorna Incident[]
During the Isla Sorna Incident, the Doe's son was taken from her by the InGen Hunters where they used him as bait to attract her partner. She and Buck, upon finding their son missing, let out a huge bellow of anger that could be heard on the other side of the island. Immediately resolved to tracking him, they located their child's scent and went to retrieve their captured son. Upon arriving in the encampment, she made her presence known by flipping one of the Gatherers' Mercedes-Benz M-Class SUVs over the cliff the team parked on. She, along with her mate, then reveal themselves to the humans inside the Fleetwood RV Mobile Lab, and make a series of low growls and roars, indicating their presence is for their infant. Despite the infant having been returned to them, the pair decided to destroy the humans as a probable continued threat to their child. They put the young male in a safe place before returning to the trailers. Flipping the rear half of the accordioned vehicle upside down the two proceeded to smash the windshield of the vehicle and then push the rear trailer over the cliff, leaving it hanging hundreds of feet from the rocky shore below. Apparently satisfied with their work, the two leave. However, drawn by the sounds of Eddie Carr's Mercedes SUV, the couple return and the Buck proceeded to dismantle the vehicle before lifting Eddie up and ripping him in half in a tug-of-war with the female before finally eating him. Despite Eddie's death, the subsequent destruction of both trailers and the remaining SUV, the team were saved by the InGen expedition team.
Despite having her son returned her, she and the Buck continued to pursue the human visitors because they smelled the blood of their infant that had gotten on Dr. Sarah Harding's shirt when she was repairing his leg, also motivated by their parental instincts. She let her mate go first into the humans' camp, which caused the inhabitants to go into a mass panic. The Female Tyrannosaur then burst out of the brush and ambushed the scattering mercenaries; Roland Tembo, upon catching sight of her, tried to shoot her with his elephant gun (possibly mistaking her for the male) but she was saved because Nick van Owen had previously sabotaged the rifle's ammunition. Chasing the terrified mercenaries out of the camp and into the jungle, ignoring the sporadic gunfire aimed at scaring her off, she kills the InGen Hunter, Carter, by crushing him with her right foot after he trips and lands in a puddle. As she continues walking she is unaware that he is still alive and he is eventually crushed to death as the Tyrannosaurus rex continues pursuing his fellow colleagues.
She later found Sarah, Nick Van Owen, Kelly Malcolm, and Dr. Robert Burke behind a waterfall, trying to evade her. She stuck her head through and tries to eat them but cannot reach them on account of her large head. Dr. Burke, however, got startled by a snake slithering down his shirt and foolishly ran into the range of the female, who clamped her jaws shut on his arm and dragged him out to be eaten. Apparently satisfied with her meal, she did not resume trying to get at the remaining humans and left.
Her son and her mate were later captured by the Hunters she had fought against and were transported to San Diego, California. It is unknown what Doe did during that time, but it can be assumed that she desperately searched for signs of her family on Isla Sorna. Finally, the Doe was soon reunited with the two after the Buck broke loose from his cage inside the boat he was being transported in and caused havoc once he had arrived in the city, which led to the human residents returning them back to their home on Isla Sorna.
Capture and transfer to Biosyn Sanctuary[]
The Doe and Buck were captured from Isla Sorna by Biosyn and brought into their sanctuary sometime before 2022.
Jurassic World: Chaos Theory[]
In the finale episode of the series in season 4, Doe and Buck rush to the scene to help Rexy fend off a pack of Atrociraptors, and roaring triumphantly after defeating the pack. This appearance helped the Nublar Six get away in time, and to successfully escape the sanctuary.
Jurassic World: Dominion[]
After the sanctuary was abandoned, Doe and her mate are seen socializing with Rexy.

Trivia[]
- Currently, there are no film canon estimates for the size of this individual. The closest would be the general DPG graphic for the T. rex estimating it to be 12 meters long and weighing 7 tons.
- Since the female wouldn't be seen or used as much as the male, the animatronic was built out of lighter aluminum rather than steel.
- Doe is the Tyrannosaurus who pins Eddie's car while he's eaten. Meaning while she pinned the car, she was holding back not only the Mercedes, but both of the trailers as well, since when she puts her foot down, the trailers and car immediately fall off of the cliff. It's also possible that she's the one who flips the other Mercedes off of the cliff thanks to Malcolm saying "Mommy's very angry" afterward.
- Before the script for Jurassic World: Dominion had been written, per Jack Ewins, Colin Trevorrow had told him that he intended to bring back Buck and Doe in the film. After the film released, Trevorrow confirmed on Twitter and in a CinemaBlend interview that the two Tyrannosaurus joining Rexy at the end were indeed those two. This was confirmed again by Scott Kreamer on his Instagram account and an interview with That Hashtag Show after the release of Jurassic World: Chaos Theory season 4.
