For future noobs. Do NOT listen to these muppets:

First get yourself a bola, then smack it a few times with wooden club

Next feed it RAW MEAT

I assume you are like level 10-15 right now which means you have not yet unlocked tranq arrows therefore if u wanna tame this creature just use a wooden club and bola for christ sake, honestly not worth waiting till lvl 21 just to get tranq arrows when a club and bola are so much easier and quicker to craft. Also yes they are the first creature you are taming that u can fly, however don’t get excited as the saddle is fairly difficult to make for news and cannot be obtained until about lvl 40 i think 38 can’t remember. And they are good for travelling and having fun with, make a pretty good meat and hide gatherer tbf🤣 but don’t expect to use them for carrying potential tames as they can only carry Dilophosaurs and smaller creatures. Also flying them is only possible with these requirements:

Make sure you have an appropriate weight

Get the pteranodon about 50 weight and stamina upgrades (maybe movement speed too)

So in conclusion they are a pretty shite tame, when on following they get in ur way 24/7 unless u stack their inventory with meat (or have a trough in range) and have an enclosured area (inside building or dino leash) DO NOT LET THEM WANDER. Also back to the taming food, use RAW MEAT, raw prime meat this early on into the game is almost impossible unless ur already experienced with the game, raw meat works almost the exact same and is so much easier and quicker to get than prime meat.

After a while of getting used to these types of creatures i recommend getting an Argentavis, griffin, dimorphodon, tapajara or even a quetzal next. But i highly doubt you’ll be ready for anything above an Argentavis at this point. I would recommend an army of them but 1 is fine.
