Everyone who is having trouble finding them on the Island, just go to Scorched. I gave up searching for them on The Island. Each time I go to SE I find anywhere from 6-12 each run. With some having babies.

How high they jump varies on where you are looking when you jump
Is it just me, but should they addd a savana-y map. Ik they have scorched but it’s more DRY desert than savanna. They should have another desert map like how they have the island and lost island but this would be scorched earth the dry more Death Valley-type place and the new…
Is it just me, but should they addd a savana-y map. Ik they have scorched but it’s more DRY desert than savanna. They should have another desert map like how they have the island and lost island but this would be scorched earth the dry more Death Valley-type place and the new one will be more like lion king setting. With tall grass plains and the odd tree, watering holes with spinos and equises? Equi? You get it. I feel like with all the new maps they are making this would be a good one! Also look on the fenrir page and if u see the post on it would be cool if the added the Roc 🦅 this would be a good map for it. To recap:
The rock is basically a GIANT eagle. Much like the Argi but MUCH MUCH bigger and more eaglish. They would be birds of pray and would come in grays and browns. To tame prob be knoc and food would be any meat. They could be ridden and might have a swoop attack. Maybe in wild they would swoop you and stego-size creatures when hunting and lift them up high wile doing damage then drop when high enough.
👍🏻 so Wild Card will add
I found them in various places; 🦘 the snow mountain, 🦘south of volcano near the base, 🦘near the swamp, 🦘and the red woods. (Ark mobile) ➡️ If you have an argy 🦅 take that tame so that you can pick it up and carry it to your base to tame safely. They are easy…
I found them in various places; 🦘 the snow mountain, 🦘south of volcano near the base, 🦘near the swamp, 🦘and the red woods. (Ark mobile) ➡️ If you have an argy 🦅 take that tame so that you can pick it up and carry it to your base to tame safely. They are easy to knock out, but it is easier in a contained place. (I built a taming pen) NOTE: They only eat RARE MUSHROOMS 🍄 while taming but CAN eat berries 🫐 after. This is a great newbie tame, they are fast, and take no fall damage. So, if you are in a sticky situation simply spam jump to get away. Good luck, 🍀 hope this helps!
Guys, these things CAN’T harvest berries on mobile!
Cant pick em even with a quetzal
I found one or two on the north west side of the map on the beach area, just before you get to the floating ice.
I’m on mobile rn found a lvl 5 but I don’t have flyers to ride it ima try and take it now but I’m near a couple dangers :,) ( 1 like = Good luck )
On scorched earth in the eastern oasis you can find purple bushes, if you harvest these with a (for an example) morelatops there is a really high chance of gettin rate mushrooms.
When you knock out a procoptodon Feed it rare mushrooms they actually eat it when you want to tame them.
If this Proceptodin eats species x seeds he should be able to spit out green bullets!
These are really hard to find but on mobile you can find them at fars peak, the volcano, and the redwoods.
This guy can be found (on the island on mobile) at the junction of the redwoods and the swamps. I once rescued one on an argy but it kicked us. Went to literally the red peak surrounded by 6 allos.
Since update, easiest way to tame is to eat a rare flower and trap it. Make sure you kill other Dino's or it won't end well
If you walk over the Procoptodon while it’s hopping it appears stuck in your Wyvern from the front. Then head to the front of your Wyv and start shooting it, it will end up stuck in your Wyvern since it’s trying to run from you. Then you should be able to knock it out. I…

For those that play on PVE (cant pick up wild dinos) and can not place any trap for it's pillars all over the map. Use thyla to ride a use Ru darts made from bio toxin and ru after the kangaroo and shoot it. They loose agro pretty fast but torpor is still there. Have…

Use thyla to ride a use Ru darts made from bio toxin and ru after the kangaroo and shoot it. They loose agro pretty fast but torpor is still there. Have done it many times and successfully tamed all kangaroos i wanted ☺
Huge jumps, fast, knock back kick attack, can harvest berries, Put babies in the pouch to get double imprint, hold y and pick up your baby :D very useful definitely recommend taming them 9/10
If you're fast enough, you can box up the Procoptodon with three to four billboards
