I had a megalodon called jaws once, and I put him on wander to mate with another megalodon I had, but I forgot I left him on aggressive and he went after a dodo. He got beached and eventually about 4 dodos ganged up on him and pecked him to death. By the time I was there it was already too late. RIP JAWS ~ death by dodo

TAMED MEGALODON ARE SO FAST İF YOU DİSMOUNT AND HAVE FULL SCUBA ARMOR YPU COULD TAME A MOSASAURUS EASİLY

Must be bigger; name literally means “big tooth”, and this is the size of a modern great white shark (should be 3x bigger)!

Make sure there are no other megalodon near by when knocking them out, it makes them take so much less torpor from each shot for mate boost and pack bonus. I had to figure this out the hard way

These actually have a bite force 3 times stronger than a T-Rex, so technically it should do 3(65) = 195 damage. And they need more health.

Avoid this animal in the wild as it is aggressive. But once tamed they make a good water defense for underwater or island bases, both pvp and pve

these guys suck I killed like 12 of them by just fast ithcy biting

The easiest way to kill these guys is to lead them to the shore and for some reason they will glitch and get stuck, letting you get close and personal (without getting attacked) or you can shoot it down with your ranged weapon. I wish I knew that before I lost a perfectly new pteranodon! Every up= RIP for Dwayne and everyone else’s tames lost! 😞

My shark is stuck on the beach. I’ve tried everything like getting my trike, my diplo, and putting it on follow. Someone please help I just tamed it!!!

I personally think that meg's are great water mounts who need more love:)

To anyone who has his megalodon/any swimmming dino stuck on The shore. Just cryopod It. I sacrified a Mosa before knowing this :/

NO the megladon WAS the biggest shark. Studies show, megs were 15 to 18 meters. That was 3 times as big as great whites! Sharkies proved you wrong.

Ppl say this should be 3x bigger but then it will be Giga size aka 156feet long and past the Ridiculous Size of Ark Creatures,before u say anything I got this source from ark wiki which said that carcharodon ultramegalodon aka megalodon is 52 feet in length real megs were 47-60 feet long so the mid range here

The meg is so-used to be insane but if you have an itchy on mobile they’re usually passive.

You can’t eat or drink underwater which makes healing or renewing your Fria Curry or Lazarus Chowder a problem - Megalodons can swim straight up and straight down unlike some other aquatic mounts and when surfaced, you can dismount and stand on them to eat or use healing tonics. With enough HP you can set them to passive and let them tank damage from a Megalodon while using your rifle to dart the wild megalodon for a faster KO. Always best to have a few sharks with you while exploring the oceans.

Build a behemoth water pen, then open a gate and lure one in. Then simply shut the gate and tranq it out! I'm taking two right now!

1. Ride on Ichthyosaurus since nothing will agro on you in the water unless you feed a basilosaurus food and mantas see that.

2. Crossbow ONLY with tranqs or longneck rifle with darts to knock it out.

3. Have some bio toxin beforehand (10 is more than enough)

4. Feed raw or prime meat because fish meat is less effective.

5. You have got yourself a shark pet.

X-type 140 took me about 140 arrows with prim crossbow .

You can unlock their saddle relatively early in the game.
