What are some stories about the brontosaurus? Memorable brontosaurus stories, wild encounters, and fan fiction.
So I was just walking along when I saw a bronto but I didn’t know if I wanted to get 1 but I got my slingshot and barely knocked it out so I tamed it and then a max level giga attacked a titan and my bronto attacked the titan because the titan killed me so rip first bronto then 2 days later I got another but lucky I was not near a danger zone so I had a Rex with a saddle and a bronto and 3 spinos just saying I brought the Rex saddle so yeah and then a giga attacked my base so I thought I could win but in case I couldn’t kill it I ran away with my Rex and bronto but the giga caught up to me and then rip my bronto then I gave up on them
I saw one of these guys near the beach, i really wanted one because they can carry a lot and i will never have to worry about being encumbered again, i dont have a lot of tranq arrows at the time, so i hopped on my scorpion and started stabbing it, we were getting the upper hand when i saw the bronto’s health was dangerously low, and i was like, one more stab wont kill it, right? Bad idea, it died

Ark mobile plyer here. So tried to tame a lvl 50, needed 102 tranq. Made them and started to shoot it from a cliff. I wasted some tranq, but successfuly made to torpor high enough. And then it fled to tge sea and this was the moment that I know it's not my day. Megs killed it and all my trang gone deep into oblivion
I managed to tame one of these at level 8 on Ragnarok. It got stuck in a steep sided river and I knocked it out with a slingshot. Nearly killed it but it was a max level as well and was really useful for defence it was hilarious watching it yeet Ichthyornis into the the stratosphere. Couldn’t ride it obviously.
Once I was taming a turtle (camy, whatever) I named him frank. I went back to my base and a high level Bronto was attacking. The Bronto ran into the ocean, with my level 20 trike tempest running after. I got on my trike just before the Bronto killed him and I realised my para, magma, died.... I have 40 mins to level up 60 times and get a revival platform... RIP magma.
Stole an egg and got killed with my pteranodon. Whent back for my stuff and the bronto (lvl 10)started chasing me again since I had the egg. I managed to trap her in a stoney area and knock her out with 30 tranq arrows. Took a little while for the tranquilizer to kick in but I managed to tame her in the end. While that happened, 2 of my trikes I had set to passive mated and had a lv35 kid. Unfortunately it died after I forget to put food in its inventory while I went to check on the brontos taming progress.
Its not brontosaurus! Its apatosaurus!
Im writing this tip to explain why people call it brontosaurus anyway btw.
Ok. So, paleontologists discover a sauropod (long necked herbivorous dinosaur) and named it apatosaurus. A few years later, they discover another sauropod, and name it brontosaurus. A while later, they discover that the bones called brontosaurus, were actually just apatosaurus bones. Meaning there was no brontosaurus. Since the name apatosaurus was given first, paleontologists chose that as the correct name. Yet some people still call it brontosaurus. I just thought id just throw that out there.😅
