In my opinion the best starter dinosaur you can get.
Decent movement speed with good stamina, an overall okay berry farmer with good weight and highly mobile. And this dinosaur has got very low saddle requierments and you can also shoot from it‘s back.

I suggest you to tame one.

If you name these as locations like west gate 1 or something then set them to player detection mode, they work as a great alarm system.

Even during late game I'll always have a para! They can detect nearby enemies and they're the ultimate narcoberry pickers! I prefer picking berries with them over my bears and sloths.

Good first tame for starters and a good bait for taming carnivores mid game when you want to tame that carno near your base before it destroys it.👌👍
