Fun fact, archaeopteryx was very important for it was the creature that confirmed the theory of birds being linked to dinosaurs. 🙂

Careful not to confuse these with a microraptor. One will flee in fear, the other will rko you and eat your face

Amazing for riding Ptera. Right before you run out of stamina on ptera, simply jump off while holding one of these and the ptera will regain its stamina in the air. Once your pteras stamina is full you can hop back on. Never need to land in dangerous areas again.

Don't put points into its movement speed if you want to glide faster. It glides as fast you run, so putting points into your movement speed will increase how fast it will glide. Hope this saves you from wasting levels like me : )

Fun fact: Archaeopteryx means “ancient wing”

Devs need to add chest piece for them so you can equip weapons while gliding

Some youtubers say that they are useless. WRONG. They are better than wasting time crafting a parachute and they can attack and they are small so very hard to target. I saw one of these drill through a rex and the thing didn’t even take damage once and the rex died.

These are NOT rare, just hard to find. Keep a close eye on the redwood trees, make sure to circle the trees, and listen for the noise they make.

In real life it linked between birds and reptiles

You can't pull out weapons with them

Build a tree platform on a red wood tree, build a cage around it and set the little one on wander to collect sap.

They are very fast and will only eat chitin. They run away when they see you or you tranq them. Breeding takes chitin too so have lots of chitin. They hide in trees and I have only seen females so Esther males are rare or I’m very bad at finding them

The one for the icon doesn’t do these guys justice. I have a gold, blue a red one and it’s beautiful

As a test for science I tried to tame one with shell fragments from Genesis. Noted those don’t work.

Hit X (on Xbox controller) to stop and start glide.

Don’t set your little ARK chicken on wonder in a 1 fence tall enclosure that’s ho mine got missing XD

Can be used as a parachute

Alright, so basically I found one of these in the wild and REALLY wanted one. But with all the fun things in the Redwoods willing to take out anything that looks at them... Well you get the idea. But when I went to a dungeon and saw a Eerie one I wanted it SO bad. So I killed that one took its creature implant, revived it at one of the obelisks and tamed that glory bird up. Now I have a light up parachute!

R on pc makes you stop and descend!

You can beat the tek cave with this
