If you look at the video you can see her arm reach up on the right side of the jaws, placing her about three quarters the way to the end of its mouth--Mosa's jaws were four feet long, but for the film they may have been exaggerated to six--either way she was  under the back razor sharp teeth, probably just her legs that would have been cut by them, and at least some of her was chomped by them when it snapped its jaws down--plus, she would have had her head under the Pteranodon and would have had that crushing pressure inflicted, and instant death by blunt head trauma. If you still believe she was alive after the jaws snapped, it doesn't matter--Mosa's back teeth are double-jointed and chop and grind anything in it's mouth before ratcheting it down its throat. Poor Zara was inside of a prehistoric grinding machine, and this was ironically the only luck she had as her torture definately came to an end thanks to Mr. Mosa. RESEARCH--Mega Beasts-T Rex of the Deep WANT MORE ZARA? www.facebook.com/group However, Zara was not mentioned as one of the island victims killed by the dinosaurs, implying that she is still alive; so it is likely that when the Mosasaurus devoured the Pteranodon, it did not crush Zara when it snapped it's jaws close, so she basically went straight down into the stomach of the Mosasaurus.
