Don't play with megalosaurus when they exit caves... they can grab the pteranodon!
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.

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Pteranodon in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Start with a lower level first. I tamed a perfect 150 with kibble. Sat there for two hours and the next day we were wiped.
When breeding your egg tempatures are 26-33. Not 29-32.
I use two pteranodons for two roles: specialty transport and scouting.
Level up weight on the one for transport and you can easily fly to a mountain top, gather loads of resources, and fly home. Easy-peasy.

If there's two high level tames check for wasted stats so you get the better tame
These are now useless because of the flyers Nerf...
This flyer is very useful itcan be used to tame quetzels just pick up another tribe mate a knock it out with tranq arrows :)
Make sure when taming, you have spikes around yourself and the pteradon to stop any wild dinos from killing it.
If you shoot it on the spine on the back of it's head it will knock almost any level out with one narc arrow
Starve tame the bird to get the max amount of boosted levels
Go to the red obelisk side of redwoods there is a swarm of them there.
If your taming speed is ser on 6, prime is faster than kibble. Maybe its like that always, I dont know but yeah
Saddles are super expensive. So don't craft saddles,just wait until you are at least higher than lvl 39
My ptera has 500% melee and can 2 hit level 50 mammoths :)
Said it would be a baby for 2.5 hours, its already been 5 and its still a baby
