The Fate of Blue: Survival and Evolution in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

Blue, a T-Rex raptor, became a major figure in the world of Jurassic Park after the events of the original Jurassic World. In the sequel, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Blue’s survival stands at the crossroads of investor greed and conservation efforts. This article delves into the details of Blue's journey and her uncertain future.

Blue's Journey to Survival

During the catastrophic events at the beginning of Jurassic World, Blue and the other raptors were released into the wild. Blue was last seen in a desert near a city, many miles away from the park. After helping Rexy (Rex) deal with the Indominus Rex, she made a daring escape into the unknown.

Conditions for Blue's Survival

Blue's survival hinges on a few critical factors, which are not entirely clear from the film:

Survival of Other Raptors: The film does not explicitly show the death of any raptors, leaving room for the possibility that at least one other raptor may have survived. Echo was flung into a grill but managed to survive with minor injuries, while Delta was flung offscreen. Charlie, despite being hit by an RPG, didn't show the expected level of damage, suggesting a miss or a graze. These scenarios imply that blue and other raptors could have survived the initial chaos. Ruption of the Park and Return of Staff: Major disasters typically result in government intervention and lawsuits, leading to the complete security and cleanup of the park. Even if Owen and Barry were not present, the T-Rex, Indominus Rex, and other dangerous creatures were already deceased. The T-Rex could be tranquilized from a helicopter, and the rest of the animals were likely still in their enclosures.

The Reality of Survival

Assuming that other raptors or the park staff returned, Blue and the others would likely continue to survive through scavenging and hunting small prey. They would find enough food and water to sustain themselves, and medical care could be provided if needed.

However, if left completely alone, Blue's situation would be much more dire. While she would be physically capable of surviving, the social and emotional impact of losing her family could be devastating. Blue is a highly intelligent creature, comparable in intelligence to chimpanzees, parrots, or social mammalian predators like lions and wolves. Such animals have been known to starve themselves to death after losing their companions, caregivers, or mates. Blue is no exception, and her emotional trauma could lead to her untimely death.

Conclusion

The future of Blue is uncertain, but one thing is clear: her survival depends not only on physical means but also on social support. Without the return of her human caretakers and the loss of her family, her chances of long-term survival are bleak. However, if she can find a way to adapt and survive the emotional turmoil, Blue might just defy the odds and continue her journey in the wild.
