After a long time of searching and breeding, i finally got a Pack of 6 Tek Raptor around Level 250 with Meele Damage around 400%. They do like 150 Damage with a crazy fast attacking Speed. Because of the saddle, they got Damage Reduction by 20%. Please everyone stop always saying Raptors are useless and wolfes are better!
Raptors are anazing, damn cool mounts!
A really funny thing you can do with alpha raptors is to get a rhynio, lure an alpha raptor to the beach, and get it to swim after you in the ocean. If it loses interest and becomes passive, then get close to it and dismount on your rhynio and it should start swimming after you again. Then when it gets too close you can fly some distance away, dismount, and it will start chasing you again. Do this a few dozen times and you can trick the alpha raptor into swimming to herbivore island or any other crazy location since alphas can't drown.
You can also leave the alpha raptor at sea then fly away from it until it disappears in your render distance and forget about it since it will never despawn, drown, or even move so you can go to it later to kill it.
Bonus tip: if you dismount on your rhynio, your rhynio will automatically start regenerating stamina in the air after 5 seconds.

Some things make life so much easier and a high level raptor is one of them. They are easy to tame, good for killing other things and if you put lots of levels into health, weight and speed you can use then to tame others. Who needs a trap to tame a rex when you can shoot it with a cross bow, hop on your raptor and run forward and repeat. A large group also helps.
Once I tamed a Raptor and named her Emerald. She was a beautiful green level 38 Raptor. Once another level 5 Raptor killed me, so I took her to get revenge on that stupid little pest. However, as she was killing it, I accidentally clicked on an ad (I play on Mobile) and she disappeared. I tried to whistle for her, but she didn’t come back.
The raptor is a good beginning mount.It is good at gathering meat and is fast. The raptor however has low stamina and health so fight smaller dinosaur to level up and then move on to fight larger dino. The raptor is a pack animal and in a group can easily kill players. It is also good at base defense if you put your raptors on aggressive and wander IN YOUR BASE WALLS. They are a good first mount and even helpful later on when you tame multiple and make a pack
