He gets tons of metal, flint, obsidian, ambergris, and be sure to pair with a flyer or else it’s gonna be a long walk home
Ankylosaurus
The Ankylosaurus is a heavily armored herbivore specializing in harvesting metal and other mineral resources. Its durable body and crushing tail make it a sturdy, if slow, defensive mount.

What ARK players use the Ankylosaurus for, and how to get the most out of it in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
These things are BEASTS when it comes to the element shard asteroids. However, they do not move that fast in space.
These dinos can harvest a ton of metal and have a 75 percent weight reduction for metal in their inventory
Great for getting metal especially with quetz
its really good if want to build a stone base you can find it in the Herbivore island
Mining drill is better than the anky for metal
If your going to mutate these, you must look for weight and melee mutations
Ummmm I'm playing in mobile and i tried to color my anky with teal colored potent dust but it didnt work, I also had this problem with the mesopithiucus. Pls leave tips as to why I have this issue. And has anyone else had this problem?
This Dino is one of the best land gathers on the game. It got me 1000 metal, over 1k stone and 1k flint in half an hour. This thing can pay for itself. It also gathers a lot of berries and thatch even if you aren’t trying to. That is a little bad when you need to drop the…

Trust me you will end up using it a lot.
The best tame, clearly
Get tonnes of berrys, and tâche, even wood, plus stone, métal and silex
And really helpfull for gaming other species (just go on saddle, and shoot tranqs...)
Why the hell do people keep calling these things ankys?!?!?! It’s so freaking annoying. Ankylo is just two more freaking letters! It ain’t that hard!
This guy does NOT fit through a Dino gateway tested it and my anky almost died from my spike walls
Do not trust the app pls fix :(
If you ever go on a metal run or go caving I would recommend bringing about 3 of these guys. They really come in handy if you need to carry large ammounts of metal. What you may call 200 pounds of metal ore they call 2 grains of rice.
Whomever said it’s best at obsidian is dead wrong
A pack of ankys go well with argus you'll be surprised at the mining factory you've got. Plus leveling argus with weight only and ankys with melee only. Don't do weight for them. It's a waste since you'll deposit metal into argus after.
If you have a hard time finding one, they’re very common on herbivore island.
This thing is AMAZING at collecting metal and berries, it is known as best metal collector on (most of) the islands (magmasaur on aberation is better)
Make it to where it can damage metal. It can completely destroy metal rocks so why not metal buildings? Confusion?
So these guys are the absolute KINGS when it comes to gathering metal, not only do they gather it in the hundreds from every metal rock, they also make it weigh a sixth of what it normally would when they carry it(45 pounds in a stack of 300) so with a leveled weight and melee…
So these guys are the absolute KINGS when it comes to gathering metal, not only do they gather it in the hundreds from every metal rock, they also make it weigh a sixth of what it normally would when they carry it(45 pounds in a stack of 300) so with a leveled weight and melee damage stat they can gather and carry an ungodly amount of metal for you, oh and you hardly have to worry about them dying to anything short of an alpha or giga, they can have thousands of health and do a fair bit of damage with that club tail
Ankys can swim really fast and get oil and other resources from the ocean. ^^
