Mosy is a supporting protagonist in Jurassic World. She is Jurassic World's Mosasaurus at an attraction named Jurassic World Lagoon
History[]
Creation[]
On August 25, 2000, InGen researchers while testing a prototype iron analyzer discovered traceable DNA fragments on a recently uncovered mosasaur specimen. Dr. Henry Wu believed this to be the only way of recreating aquatic organisms without extracting blood from mosquitoes trapped in amber.
Mosasaurus was successfully recreated by InGen under the wing of the Masrani Global Corporation for their new dinosaur park Jurassic World. The species created was Mosasaurus maximus, which many believe to be synonymous with the species M. hoffmannii, but others believe it to be a valid species.
The cloned Mosasaurus retained many features of its original counterpart. It also had a bite force of 13K, one pound higher than the terrestrial predator Tyrannosaurus rex that lived in the same period as the Mosasaurus. The Mosasaurus also had a frill running down its back and lacked a forked tongue as well as lacked a large tail fluke. The clone's colors are mostly greyish-blue with a creamy underbelly.
The Mosasaur lived in a 3 million gallon pool of water located near Main Street known as the Jurassic World Lagoon and visitors could watch it feed on sharks in the Mosasaurus Feeding Show. Visitors could also view her through an aquarium below the lagoon known as the Underwater Observatory to see her. Despite the fact that the Mosasaurus was capable of jumping on to land, she did not seem to actively pursue humans that came close to the tank edges.
Size Estimates[]
Below is a list of size estimates for the cloned Mosasaurus from various sources:
Jurassic World Incident[]
Gray and Zach Mitchell attended the Mosasaur Feeding Show and the Underwater Observatory in which they saw the Mosasaurus consume a shark.
Following the escape of The Aviary's residents from their enclosure, the Mosasaurus devoured a Pteranodon that was flying over its enclosure to capture Zara Young, also eating Zara, who was in the talons of the Pteranodon. The Mosasaurus is seen trying to eat Darius Bowman and his group, while they are in the lagoon.
At the end of the battle between the Indominus rex, the park's veteran T. rex, and Blue the Velociraptor, the Mosasaurus beached itself to catch the hybrid in its jaws and dragged it to the bottom of the lagoon, thus killing it.
I. rex Specimen Retrieval[]

It is revealed that the individual Mosasaurus seen in Jurassic World has survived the months it has spent on Isla Nublar. It was thought to be dead when the submarine went in to collect a sample of what was left of Indominus rex. The Mosasaurus then ate the sub, along with a mercenary trying to escape on a helicopter, and when the gates were left open, it escaped the lagoon and swam into the ocean. When Darius and the group are leaving the island, the Mosasaurus attacks them and wrecks the ship, which leads to the six being stranded on a new island. Yaz has another nightmare of the Mosasaurus busting through the frozen lake and about to eat her, before she wakes up and the nightmare ends. It was last seen trying to eat surfers off of a coast.
A Rising Tide[]
The Mosasaurus plays a central role in the motion comic, which tells the story of its attack on surfers on the north shore of Oahu, Hawaii depicted at the end of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
Battle at Big Rock[]
Mosasaurus makes a brief cameo in the short, eating a breaching great white shark catching a sea lion during the end credits.
Jurassic World: Dominion[]
In 2022, the Department of Prehistoric Wildlife has confirmed sightings of the Mosasaurus somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, near San Francisco, in Seattle, in the corals of Hawaii, Okinawa, Japan, Lathryn's Hook, Alaska and Auckland, New Zealand where it teamed up with a pod of orcas to target great white sharks. As such, it could be suggested that the Mosasaur may enjoy the company of cetaceans, as it was willing to work with them to hunt the same prey rather than kill and eat the orcas. The Mosasaurus currently follows its main prey, the great white shark, across their migration routes. At the start of the film, the Mosasaurus is seen attacking a crab fishing boat named the Saga in order to steal the crabs out of the baited traps, causing the boat to turn over, and the Mosasaurus either ate or injured the crew. The Mosasaurus is later seen peacefully mingling with a pod of humpback whales at the very end of the film.
