I'd argue Zara being grabbed twice isn't important because without it, readers can still infer how she wound up in the lagoon.

Saying a Pteranodon grabbed her obviously explains how she wound up in the air, which in turn explains how she fell into the Mosasaurus' enclosure. Omitting that she was tossed to another Pteranodon doesn't impact the two crucial details; her becoming airborne and her falling.

Also, I don't believe saying she was "tossed" is accurate; it looks more like first Pteranodon dropped her as a result of either her being too heavy, the second Pteranodon attacking it, or both factors. I'm not certain if the second Pteranodon did attack the first, but it does not appear the first intended to toss Zara to the second. Zara descends straight down and the second Pteranodon just so happens to be nearby to retrieve her.
