They can gather sap from redwood trees if set to wander

Just a little note you can equip your map while riding this guy!

Just to let you know that these creatures are mainly used for fun exploring or a emergency getaway dino cause if you are on a cliff or tree platform and someone is about to destroy it Run!!

The silly survivor

If you’re like me and have an arsenal of things to use at any given moment in your hot bar, then these are not practical since you cannot use anything until you’ve dropped the creature. The only function they serve me is a means of helping my flyer gain stam without landing. Use on very long runs

I once combined a this Dino and a aerial symbiot and jumped expecting to fall down extremely slowly when I wasn’t falling I speed up the world by 400% (I’m on mobile and have god console) and I started rising. So combine an aerial symbiot and this guy and jump and you will rise (but very slowly)

I’m the one who made the long archaeopteryx tutorial and I just need to say, the Archie is carryble by everything that can carry a creature in the game.

can easily glide over most rivers and swamps, helping you avoid titanoboa, sarco, spino, etc.

I have a LvL 56 Archeopteryx named Glide, he is my best friend and I literally keep him with me at all times, I feed him, keep him on my shoulder and do a lot of stuff with him, he hasn’t even been killed by anyone, he’s unstoppable, (I leveled up his Damage, Health, Speed, Stamina, and Weight) so now my friend wants him, but he’s mine and nothing can change that

Shush OK people I see how it is I haven’t found one of these on ark mobile I am a mobile player and I’ve wanted one of these for a very long time I’ve searched the entire map high and low and I haven’t found one are you saying it’s on mobile and not putting it on mobile to make people feel bad?!?!?!?!😕🙁☹️😣😖😮‍💨😡😡😡😡😡

Fun fact. This was not a dinosaur. Its just a normal bird changed to be the 'missing link'

to fit the evolution. but the biggest problem is. Its very proven modern birds excited long before the dinosaurs.

Beware if you glide then it will be gliding on 1 way so you can't turn 😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞

They can be "worn" like a compy, vulture, or monkey. They act as a parachute so if you accidentally fall off your bird, you won't fall to your death.

I once used these to fly around the whole maple 2 times. Saw every creature u can name.except for the deep water creatures

Interesting fact. The archaeopteryx is Not a dinosaur at all. Its a fake. Fossils put together to make the 'missing link' So it would fit in with the evolution. The feathers are not even real. They where put in by humans. But the even bigger problem is that it has been proven that modern birds existed long before the dinosaurs.

There have never been any dinosaurs with feathers. Those that have been 'found' have only been fake. 80% of the fake 'feathers dinosaurs' are made in China

Only stupid people believe in evolution! 😠

Dude is a living parachute but is also weak

If you are on mobile and you accidentally throw it when gliding, you need to setting it on the setting

To the guy/girl that claimed that the other person was lying that Feather dinosaurs never existed. He/she was right. And you are wrong and the one who's lying. They have never been found in volcanic ash. Its well know that the feather dinos are fake. But its just ignored. For there is so many people that want the evolution to be true. The 'Archaeopteryx' is the thing that started the myths about dinosaurs becoming birds. But it never did existed. And its so sad that 1 lie have gone this far.

Here. how it REALLY is

The Proliferation of Fake Chinese Fossils

Exposing The Fraud Of Unscrupulous Fossil Dealers And Their Magnificent-Looking Fossils

no other source for fake fossils has posed such a problem as exists today with fossils from China. We must preface this section to say the fake Chinese fossil market is becoming increasingly sophisticated and changing so rapidly that any fossil now originating in China should be approached with caution. This section deals with only the tip of a massive and growing "iceberg".

Each year, thousands of trusting buyers are duped by both inexpensive and very expensive, highly realistic fakes. More troubling, even scientists have fallen prey to the extraordinary craftsmanship of the Chinese fake fossil artists. In 1999, highly recognized scientists along with National Geographic magazine presented an amazing new discovery of a feathered dinosaur discovered in the Liaoning Province of China. The bird with a dinosaur's tail was named ARCHAEORAPTOR. A year later, it was found to be a clever fake.

China has an immense scientific wealth of genuine fossil deposits. Despite SEVERE Chinese cultural property laws (up to and including the death penalty) that forbid the export or trade in fossils, one can see numerous Chinese fossils for sale in shops, shows, on fossil dealer websites and in online auctions such as EBay (consistently THE highest incidents of fraudulent auctions). With the threat of such strict laws, one has to wonder "How can there be so many Chinese fossils making out of the country?" Simple logic is all that is needed.... THEY ARE FAKES! The Chinese have found it easier (and safer) to just MAKE these fossils. There is no worry or risk to a Chinese dealer when they ship a fake out of the country!

Most Chinese fossils are found in remote villages where extreme poverty is the norm. The financial rewards to fake or substantially fabricate rare fossils they are familiar with is akin to winning the lottery for most farmers in these regions. With a history and culture of incredible craftsmanship dating back to the Neolithic Age, today, the Chinese have focused their skills on mastering the fabrication of fossils. Each year, countless fake Chinese fossils of ALL kinds are sold to ignorant (and dishonest) fossil dealers who then in turn, sell to trusting customers. Many of these outright fakes have, and continue to, sell for thousands of dollars!

Made In China

The variety and magnitude of fake Chinese fossils that are sold today is endless. Today, the Chinese will fake ANYTHING in their quest to offer something that is new and exciting to the already-flooded fake market. As of this posting, we observed a most interesting creation. There is a dealer on EBay who recently sold a "fossil rat" on a slab fabricated out of nothing more than a horrible fish fossil. The head and body of the fish was altered to look like a rat and the arms and other extremities were carved and painted on the rock. This worthless fake sold for $3,010.00! As the famous quote goes, "There's a sucker born every minute." In this case, the auction involved 8 bidding "suckers" fighting for this one.

Not the best creature in ark. It’s almost completely surpassed by sinomacrops and you can’t hold anything while parachuting with it. However, it’s cheap and a fairly solid escape tool if you need to jump off of a mountain. They’re also just cute.
