Juvenile T-Rex is the overarching protagonist of the original series of the Jurassic Park franchise. He is an Tyrannosaurus rex; one of many things referred to as "T-Rex" in the franchise, and the sibling of Rexy the original Tyrannosaurus Rex. He (like his mother but unlike most of the dinosaurs in the first Jurassic Park movie) is not bigoted towards other species, although he will generally avoid those of other species because things have been done that way for a long time.
Biography[]
According to the novel, the juvenile T-rex spends the most of its time avoiding the adult and even makes an effort to capture fish that swim in the paddock's surrounding moat. When a loud thump is heard and a large shadow obscures the vision, the youngster is said to run past the two tour cars.
This implied that the juvenile was the one who initially tore down the fence. After Ed Regis cowardly flees from the adult T-rex, it is seen that he has been consumed by the juvenile, leaving only a leg for Donald Gennaro and Robert Muldoon to find.
Some of the characters witness the juvenile attacking a Stegosaurus while looking through the security cameras.
In the beginning of Costa Rica, Juvenile T-Rex appears and watches his egg which is about to hatch. He follows it and watches the egg as it hatches into a baby original Tyrannosaurus Rex, whom she names him Rexy. Though long since alive, she is periodically mentioned through the film series and may make an appearance in Jurassic Park: The Next Chapter. Rexy remembers her sibling than the others. In Jurassic Park: Survival. Rexy wishes that his mother had given him a brother and looks at a cloud which forms the shape of a T-Rex, which could possibly be her.
He then makes an appearance in a flashback in Jurassic Park: Survival. While before the events of the first movie, Jurassic Park, she is seen to be brown like Rexy. During Rexy's flashback in "The Legend of Rexy", a young T-Rex is shown playfully sliding down her tail into the water, from a distant shot, while Saro and another small longneck are seen in the water near them - possibly a relative, sibling, or a child of Saro's. This may be the only instance in which Juvenile T-Rex is shown as a child.
