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

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

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

Can be used as a parachute

These should be shoulder mounts. Disco, my Archaeopteryx from a dungeon, is absolutely amazing. Maybe have the saddle icon for gliding, and the pick-up icon for a shoulder mount? Just an idea. I love this dinosaur.

It only eats chitin. Make sure to put chitin on them for food. Breeding also only takes chitin so make sure you have plenty.

I also made the same mistake as the first dude to comment. To increase dino's glide, upgrade YOUR CHARACTERS MOVEMENTS SPEED.

Bola one that is on the ground and sting it with a scorpion once. Don’t need the saddle just target and whistle passive but you have to be quick.

The Archaeopteryxes are actually an evolutionary ‘uncle’ and not really ‘parent’ in the evolution or birds.

On mobile next to impossible to tame the normal way, I just tamed one by grabbing it from the top of a tree and bringing it very far away from redwoods, then tranq it then tame it. Lots of work, but I love them so it’s worth it.

Learned there half way up redwood trees have found 10 just sitting on trees

It’s a lot easier to use a bola when taking than just going for it. One buck with an equus also knocks it out. Make sure to be certain something is a micro raptor before killing it, cause these things are rare and look virtually the same

Bring bolas when searching for them. These guys are fast, bring a crossbow or better to tranq them.

Easiest tip: bola it knock it out five at least five chitin and you have another pet

They’re very skittish and hard to hit. And for some reason on ark mobile they disappear once they hit the ground. At least that’s how it is on the server I play on. It’s also how I lost most of my toxicant arrows trying to hit one.

Uh well u hit it out with ur hands

Just pick them up with an argie and toss em into a taming pen or enclosed area, easy tame.

These guys are really fast (bring bola's), they are really hard to find they usually spawn near the medium sized trees with the spiky leaves.

Put lvl's in stamina and weight... If it runs out of stam and too heavy it wil lose life and die ..

Try to grab it with an argy and put it in a thatch pit with a roof then once contained tranq away
