Brontosaurus

The Brontosaurus is a behemoth of a dinosaur with a powerful tail 'tail sweep' attack that can smash all nearby enemies. This method is also one of the most efficient ways to gather berries and thatch, and the Brontosaurus' ability to carry large quantities of items make it even more useful for gathering. With its ability to carry a Platform Saddle, the Brontosaurus is often considered a must-have dinosaur for nomadic tribes looking for a mobile base.

If you are looking to get one off of your tail, and you have tranq darts, all you need to do is fire at least 13 darts into its body and mostly its head and then it will begin running due to torpor. If you’re looking to tame it, grab a bunch of vegetables, more specifically…

The bronto is quite slow but if they swin..

Be ware they are fast at water and have an INSANE damage, but need keep at the surface because of low o2 and their stamina draw quick if they go at full speed, the normal speed is really good and can carry a lot of resources.
