When I first started the game, I found one of these beauties. I immediately tamed it as fast as I could, and once he was tamed, I saw a fire in its eyes. I named him Steven. Steven has always been there for me. He gathers stuff for me, helps me kill and fend off creatures from my base, and has had a family with his wife Theresa. He now has three Children, Larry, Kevin, and Carmen. I tamed Steven when he was only a level 4, and I was a level 8. I’m so glad to have found him and we can grow old together. I’m now level 57 and He’s level 68. We’ve had a great life together.

If you want to use them for polymer harvest their bodies with a wooden club and you will get more polymer than normal!

Want to know something awesome?
A swarm of these in the water teams up AMAZINGLY with a Baryonyx! Use the stun attack on Alpha Sharks or Alpha Carno and watch as your team of Tuxedo hitmen nips them into a surprised-looking skeleton. Its hilarious.

An auto turret killed a baby’s parents so I tranqed out this cute baby penguin.Then I harvested its parents and fed their remains to it ended up naming this baby “cannibal”

They are so cute! I tamed one today and I named it Karri. She is a juvenile and very weak but still cute. If you kill baby or juvenile kairukus on purpose. I will find and burn your base in multiplayer.

DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AS I DID. I hit headshots when trying to knock this oversized penguin out, and it died... Just remember to go for the body, and only use tranq DARTs, otherwise it will die, please share to others

Tame a bunch and make a penguin farm for poly. Nine females to one male works great. Set up a bunch of ACs and have them on wander when the babies hatch club them. Free poly within the comfort of your own base!

*puts cowboy hat on penguin* Its hiiiiiigh noot

(I laughed too hard when I did this)

So I tamed two of them a Male, and Female pair, I didn’t know what to do with them until my friend said they’re good for a Polymer farm, just have 1 Male, and 5+ Females, and have a Carnivore aggressive, and it’ll get the Polymers for you.

It might sound weird, but raw meat is actually better for taming them than raw fish (Dododex plz update your chart!)

Logged on and saw my tames were killed by a kairuku..How?!?!

Ones i found a furtelized egg i hatched it and now its my best friend.(his name is pengo noot noot)

Tame like one male and 3 females and there is the start of your polymer farm!

Knock it out with tranq darts and feed it, its children

You can carry them on any flying mount and stay warm in the snow biome if you live there or need to collect resources because of there ability to warm up its surrounding area.

I use a cross bow its almost 50/50 chance it will kill it but if that happens you can just pick out a different kairuku, and feed it raw fish and/or raw meat to tame they are very easy to tame almost dodo like in a way

Fun fact. If u like these penguins and don’t want to kill them but u have to kill them for polimer I have a tip for u. If u r in ragnarok and u want polimer kill mantis. The give u 10 times more polimer and u won’t have problem killing them Because they r ugly

Well, ARK, it's time for a new DLC.
Ark: Ice Age Evoleved!

The wiki says that you cannot tame them unless they are adults. Well I call B.S. because I tamed a baby Kairuku/Penguin by just shooting it with Tranquilizer arrows until it fell asleep and offered it meat. Don’t trust what the people on the wiki say unless it’s from a trusted source.

YOU CAN PUT A REX BONE HELMET ON THEM!!!!!!
