I was taming a lvl 37 when this theri comes outta nowhere and starts stabbing me, it chased me out to an island where it swam back to shore…that ptera was being fed by prime meat…yay..
Pteranodon
The pteranodon is a fast and versatile flying mount useful for traveling and scouting, though not always the ideal choice for battle. Knocking a pteranodon out doesn't take much, but can still be a challenge since it will immediately flee after being attacked. Once knocked out, taming is quite easy in comparison to other creatures, and with its low saddle requirements, this makes it an especially popular creature for newer survivors while still being versatile enough for more experienced survivors. What the pteranodon lacks in stamina, weight, and health, it makes up with its speed.

Go to valguero spawn beach 3 go to the left towards the grass (pt paradise) theres tons of pts , mutton up the hill easy tame , there’s nothing there that can kill it . Except players . ;)
Tamed it, flew it, raptor killed it, all in the space of 10 minutes oof
If you steal its egg just keep hitting upward with a pike and if they’re low level they’ll die very easily. I killed about 4 at a time like this :) Up so other people see.
Never steal eggs unless you are a pro bola thrower & you have a spear and good weapons.like it so more poeple can see
Whatever you do, DON’T pick up an egg from these guys. They are surprisingly fast and vicious.
If you steal their eggs, hiding under water for a little bit under they flee works so you don't die! =] [And yes, I learned this the hard way]
Is it just me who thought these guys were herbivores? I’ve never actually seen them attack anything, and they’re really chill.
When fighting someone on a pteranodon, 1 bola can take him out of the battle. No matter the level.
For people who say that this little flyer wont attack you if you take its egg, it WILL attack you if you take its egg AS LONG AS YOU ARE NEAR THE DINO. Your welcome!
Stick to the beaches in the southern zones for easy find and easy tame without much predators to attack you
