Blue is seen again exploring the tunnels beneath the island. Eventually, Blue goes to the watering hole where Mitch and Tiff plot to kill any dinosaurs they want there. Tiff attempts to shoot Blue to her death, but the two poachers are thwarted by the Camp Cretaceous campers, who create a stampede in the area with Blue amongst the dinosaurs running. a b Smith, Jeremy (June 9, 2015).

Inside the ship, it is revealed that Zia Rodriguez, after explaining to Wheatley that she is the only one that can keep Blue alive after she is wounded, is desperately trying to slow the bleeding of Blue's wound until they reach the mainland so she can treat her injuries with the proper equipment. Owen, Claire and Franklin reunite with them and witness the horrible condition Blue is in, as she is hemorrhaging, and in immense pain. Owen attempts to comfort Blue, as Zia explains she is unable to remove the bullet without a transfusion from another of the carnivorous dinosaurs on board with two or three fingers. Zia and Franklin end up staying behind with Blue, as Owen and Claire venture out to use blood from the sleeping T. rex to use for Blue's transfusion.

Paul's 1988 book Predatory Dinosaurs of the World, which labeled Deinonychus as a Velociraptor species due to Paul's belief that many dinosaur genera should be combined. [15] [16] [17] [18] staff, T.

At some point before 2015, Blue’s physical appearance was used as a model for the holoscape display of Velociraptor in the Samsung Innovation Center. This made her an ambassador for her species in Jurassic World ahead of the planned raptor exhibit, even if she could not have known anything about this herself. Not all was well on the island, though. Part of the reason there were so many compies in the Centre was because many had evacuated the northern part of Isla Nublar, and other dinosaurs had been behaving stressed. The same day that she encountered the humans, a tropical storm rolled in over Isla Nublar with full force, causing flash floods and washing debris into the lowlands. During a small break in the storm, a massive explosion occurred at Lookout Point to the west, raining flaming debris around the Western Ridge. The Centre, nestled in the secondary growth of the forest, was unscathed by these disasters, but that would change soon.

Family ties were a major source of conflict for Blue during the 2018 incident as well. She was targeted because of her emotional intelligence, which was part of what had made her such an effective big sister in her family unit. Henry Wu, her creator (but not an important figure in her family life), intended to use her as a surrogate mother for future Indoraptors which would be engineered with her DNA instead of generic Velociraptor. Owen Grady was recruited to capture her under the premise of saving her from an impending natural disaster, his employers capitalizing on his familial relationship to Blue to lure her out. This succeeded, and as a result, Blue was captured by poachers and seriously wounded. Grady redeemed himself by saving her life, and Blue returned the favor by fighting off the prototype Indoraptor as the creature threatened Grady. She was then faced with the difficult choice between the wild and her last remaining family. In a major step for her own maturity as an adult animal, Blue chose independence.VelociCoaster, an attraction at Universal Studios Orlando, has animatronics of Blue and her siblings, who feature prominently throughout the ride.

As the oldest, largest, strongest, and most intelligent, Blue easily took a place at the top of this hierarchy, with her younger siblings falling in line with her. This was established by Day 176 of I.B.R.I.S., roughly twenty-five weeks into the program. She expressed loyalty to Grady, and showed signs of greater emotional intelligence than her siblings. Grady noted that Blue demonstrated empathy to a degree that her siblings did not. She learned to respond to simple commands. I.B.R.I.S. training
