They Spohn in the south part of the island I see you like every single day

Be very careful taming this guy. Come prepared with fish meat and narcotics. It’s torpor goes down so fast, look away for a second and it’s gone. If you bola or shoot it in the wrong spot, you get the gift of watching it drown and/or be eaten by megs. I got lucky, my house boat is shaped like an L around a small open area for my bary, Toxin. A pel got stuck in that L, so I set Toxin to passive and a few punches easily took it out. I had taming supplies on my house boat along with fish meat for Toxin, so I got it after a minute

If you see it TAME IT trust me

Please don’t tame in the ocean because is will sink and drown

Rip to pelagornis

Tames one with 1 bola 10 pc of fish meat or so a club and times 3 tame boost. No nacros. It was lv 1 though I recommend narcos cus it almost woke up before it it tames

Up so new peeps know!

I LOVE THIS

As long as u up its stamina and weight it is as good as, if not better than, a pteranodon.

BUOYANCY FOR THE WIN!.!!

Started a new game with Ascended and got disgusted by all the low level Pteranodon everywhere after looking for decent level ones for days so I settled for a Pelagornis in the meantime… Not a bad bird at all!

When I tamed mine it was a mid-ish level and the stats weren’t the absolute best but it served its purpose well with grabbing a few chief resources I needed and with general scouting on the island. I pumped mainly health, stamina, weight and melee into mine and it’s working out so far so good. It’s alright for fighting off smaller creatures but usually I try to gtfo before it gets too hairy so the bird doesn’t get killed. It’s handy that it can fly, walk on land and swim. It recovers stamina even while moving in the water so it’s nice to constantly be moving whereas you have to find a safe spot to land and rest with other bird mounts. Insta-kills fish like piranhas which is helpful! But please don’t try to fight Megalodon with it, it might not end well lol.

All in all, it’s definitely helpful when you’re starting out. Knocking them out is not the hard part; just simply bola it and tranq it. The hardest part is having enough narcotics to make sure it stays down while you tame it. Prime fish meat and kibble works best and lessens the amount of narcotics to use.

I’ll be content with using this animal until I upgrade to an Argy at some point. It’s a decent substitute for a Pteranodon but it’s not as fast as one and I don’t think it packs a punch with melee all that well.

Hope this helps. Happy taming and good luck everyone!

Follow it with a raft until it lands at it. Then bola it and knock it out

Finding pelicans on the center is kinda hard… go closer to the east redwood ocean area and they are usually flying around

noobs: lemme craft a bola.

Me : SHOOT IT OUT THE SKY

They're great at clearing out pirhana infested waters, since pirhanas will go right up to it but then make a quick 180 when they realize what you're riding, and you kill them in one shot. Great for clearing out swamps, just be mindful of all the other monsters there, especially kapro's

Hi 👋🏾 so here is how to tame one i use crossbow and tranqs which really works so if you see one (they usually stay near the water but not swamps) shoot with tranqs biotoxin if you have it and THEY ONLY EAT FISH regular meat will not work EVEN WHEN TAMED so since they are usually close to the water hop in that water and get some fish use a rod If you can and make sure you have some sort of narcotics

They can also work as a boat to get to herb Island i do that

I LOVE the Pelagornis. You don’t even have to tame a high level one. If it’s like level 20 or something it’s still fine. It ain’t no argentavies but its weight is pretty dang good. Gets a like 3 or 5 times damage boost to fish (idk which is one it is) and it one taps them and harvests them in a single attack. It gets a little extra organic polymer too. It can land on water (which is actually pretty op if you think about it) and it can swim pretty fast. You can also fish off the top of it when in water. Also if you look down at an angle and spam take off you will actually go under the water. As soon as you stop, you will float to the surface so you won’t get stuck. All in all, the Pelagornis is easy to access (on the beach so safer than an argent, really common so easier than a tapejara and way better to than a pt), has op abilities (fish damage, landing on water ect), is a pretty good flyer (good weight, alright speed ect) and it’s so easy to tame! Just bola (if you need to), shoot and feed it raw fish or prime fish, feed it narcotics (or just narcoberries) and then it’s tamed! The Pelagornis Is also surprisingly good at climbing. I’ve scaled cliffs with one of these. I would level stamina, weight and health (with a little bit of damage here and there). In my opinion, the Pelagornis is a top-tier flyer. The pelican needs more love. -Alpharius plays ark

Newbie here got one of these guys by building a raft and finding one swimming in circles "fairly common"one trake arrow from a crossbow it was out I'd only seem to like to fish happy fishing

I found hundreds on herbivores island

These are actually quite good they are slower than pt but still quite fast. They gave decent stamina and do extra dmg against small fishes. They can float on water and can be used as mobile fishing seat. They harvest organic polymer, AND guess what, they regain stamina on water! Try it out. If you can tame a high level one of these, tame one! Equals ptera in multiple aspects, and even surpasses it in some aspects. It’s saddle is also just a bit higher level. Great first flyer before argy

If you find one hovering over the water, bringing a raft near it can unfreeze it and cause it to land. Maybe even on the raft. Be ready to bola it and tame. Careful if moving the boat they might fall off

This is one of my favorite birds partially because it's a big Duck and also it's really useful for polymer and fish meat.

Silly Survivor

A pelagornis can got underwater on mobile, you have to land on the water, then swipe up and fly down. Keep on doing this until your at a desirable depth of the ocean. Goodluck out there

You can now fish from this bird :) no more trying to get a chair to the right spot
