Tips & Strategies
If you dont want to wait for their food and have an easy trap at the same time, do this: (usable at any lvl of the tame garanteed)
1. Bola and K.O. the pteranodon
2. Collect wood from surrounding trees
3. Put a wood pillar where the ptera is, then 5 thatch roofs ontop that looks like a cross
4. Put wooden railings under the roofs outlining the roofs
5. Trap is done, wake up ptera to test if he can escape (he shouldnt be able to, tested it even on inclined terrain)
6. Sleep nearby while heβs awake (brings his food to zero when you wake up)
7. Quickly K.O. Before his food is replenished, put kibble/meat
8. And done, to destroy the trap just remove the pillar (it should all go down if you destroy just the pillar)
Thx for reading, goodluck taming!
More Pteranodon Taming & KO Tips
Lvl up their stamina to like 700.0 then start leveling up their weight cause the lighter the weight is the faster it flies and if YOUR weight is about half full then the pteranodon will either be encumbered or very close to it
If you find a level 5 one of these and gonna tame make sure you have 2 prime meat if it's normal all settings is normal and prime meat gives it 50% taming thing

Some info-
Let's face it, they're the first flyer you tamed. High levels are the best to tame, as their stamina stat is trash and you can use the highest level of stamina you can get without leveling up. Might (or might not) be replaced by an Argy or Griffin (for fancy people).
Taming-
Super easy tames, a simple bola and tranq. Because of their tiny health pool I'd recommend tranq arrows and not a club or slingshot because, chances are, you'll just kill it before you knock it out. If you find a max level try to use kibble of raw prime, but normal meat works just as well. Even the lowest levels need a few narcotics, so bring some along no matter what level you're going after.
Saddling and stats-
Saddle requires fibre and hide (I think) as well as 75 keratin. Make sure to get the keratin before you can unlock the saddle. I know from personal experience that it sucks to unlock the saddle just to wait 10 in-game days for a turtle to spawn -_-
As for stats, they aren't too good. Low heath and stamina, although I personally only put points in stamina.

the best way to tame these guys is with dodo kibble . Most people would say tame them using prime meat but donβt listen to them because with prime meat it take a long to tame so I suggest dodo kibble itβs not that that expensive to make . And it take about 5-8 second to tame if you donβt believe me then go and experiment . Then leave a like
HOW TO TAME EASY!
- craft bola
- find pteranodon
- bola pteranodon
- knock out either using fist, sling shot, bat, or some sorta tranq thing (whatever works for you)
- feed meat (recommend using soothing balm before feeding meat)
- have fun with your pteranodon!
When taming a high level Pteranodon, always starve tame it that way you don't waste/lose your kibble if somebody/something hits/kills it.
I tamed one of these. It was a female. It was a beautiful sea green and brown. I let my mom name her and she chose the perfect name for her. Her name was Stella. She was killed saving me life. She fought off 3 rexes. (Killed them all). What killed her was a F***ING COMPY
Taming one is fairly easy wait for it to come down then use a bola and a club or any kind of ko tools
USE MEAT NOT BERRIES WAS CONFUSED AND ALMOST LOST IT
turns out they only tamed slowly
When knocking pteranodons out, be sure to have a bola, it doesn't take many tranq arrows to knock it out. Once it is down, put spike walls up around it (with a little space so you can go in and out) so it doesn't lose taming efficiency or die.
Dear Wild Card- PLEASE MAKE THEIR SADDLE A LOWER LEVEL! Iβm not asking for level five or something, 25 instead of 35 would be enough. Itβs such a pain to get.
