Easy tame, if you bola first. Very skittish. Excellent aerial manoeuvrability (strafing, and backwards possible). Can perch on vertical surfaces and regain stamina. Saddle carries three people, all of whom can use weapons. Excellent flyer for tribe operations, just keep an eye on weight capacity when loaded for bear and try not to get hit, low health. Can grab a few things but not too much. If you have the chance, grab it. Good utility flyer, can do a bit of everything just not especially good at anything except as a multiple aerial transport, and dog fighting.

Switching seats on the tape will let it regen stamina in the air so you never have to land

Not very good for traveling but is amazing for taming things or doing risky work

If you use a low level tape you can tame another higher level tape by doing the target whistle and shooting at it mid air

Use a fast creature - wolf, bear, raptor, sabertooth tiger - from whose saddle you can shoot, take a bola, and when tapejara lands, run there very fast! Tapejara will not have time to react and fly away, if you will throw the bola on the way to it. After this, knock it out and feed. It works on mobile, but I think, on PC it will works too.

I've been wanting to get since they are so beautiful but I hate the fact that they are so rare but I found one close to the swamp biome and one that was this beautiful violet color but HECK NO THEY ALWAYS FLY AWAY EVEN AT THE SLIGHTEST MOVEMENT AND EVERY TIME I SEE ONE I GET FRICKIN SWEATS THINKING THAT I CAN GET IT BUT NO!!!! they're more skittish than the cute Deer I tried to hand feed!!! anyway I found them near the green obelisk and the river near the redwood biome

This reptile is like an improved version of Pteranodon its much better.

How to tame one in the easy way:

1. Find a tapejara and then Bola it. (it if it sees you it flies away so quickly bola it before it flies away.)(I recommend crafting more cuz u might miss)

2. Then knock it out with tranq arrows, toxicant arrows, Tranquilizer darts or shocking Tranquilizer darts.

3. Once you have knocked it out feed it any type of meat or allosaurus kibble. Also if the taming takes too long feed it narcotics or other stuff that increases its torpor.

4. Enjoy your Tapejara! :)

My favorite flyer tied with the argentavis I got a really good one on extinction and I used it all the time they aren’t hard to tame they can be used to transport materials, travel, and even fight as they can have decent health and melee. So an all around great mount that in my opinion is underrated
