So, I was looking for one. Reading the comments here, it was kinda easy. WRONG. They are so annoying. I STILL don’t have one! This is the materials you might wanna bring:

— 7 bolas (might not miss, but in case your TAPEJARA FLIES AWAY OR IS EATEN BY RAPTORS THE MOMENT IT IS KNOCKED OUT.)

— About 30 biotoxin (just in case it gets slain)

— I don’t know if tranq darts work (people say they kill it) but at least 18 tranq ARROWS (Just in case it FLIES AWAY OR GETS EATEN TWICE, TRUST ME I KNOW! IT HAPPENED.)

— A flier, saddled (I did my pterodon and my argy following, since they need to be protected and the ptero was to get there fast)

— Your favorite music! I’m just kidding, but I had it on. It may help you with encouragement!

— Oh, of course! Meat/kibble! About 40-60 (in case) meat normal and 10 prime meats (in case). You may wanna catch more.

Well, go somewhere and get it, SOMEWHERE WITHOUT RAPTORS! There is this spot by a little peninsula near the left bottom corner of the Island map. Go to the land and fly across the ocean surrounding the peninsula (mostly, it’s a peninsula) and go towards the corner curve thing to the right of the ruins when you first approach it from the ocean/peninsula. Then, see the little flat by the river surrounding the redwoods? Go into the forest, it’s loaded with tapejaras. I found 2 in 1 ark day. Knock out this thing and bola it first! Load it’s inventory with meat and SIT THERE DON’T GO AWAY. IT WILL GET EATEN BY RAPTORS, AND IF YOU DON’T LIKE RAPTORS GO FAR FAR AWAY. Protect, let it wake up as u pet, get saddle, fly. Well, bye. Hope this works, but if you’re on ark on a computer it may not work. I am on ark Mobile

They also can hit and attack when on land.

Use rare flowers to make it attack you then bola and tranq it

When encountering a tapejara don’t go to close

You have to bola it or it will fly off before you can even tranq it

Rare flower yourself. Aggro it. Lure it to trap

Eat a rare flower to aggravate the tape and bola it so it doesn't run away then knock it out

Were a guillysuit or it will run away

One of the best ways to tame the Tapejara is to build a cage and get near it on a flyer. Once you are near it eat some rare flowers and it will try to attack you and follow you. Using this method you can lure it back to your cage and tame it in a safe and controlled environment.

The easiest way to tame it is to use rare flower near it and fly into a trap u made

One thing that you could do (if your desperate) is build a tiny wood cage just big enough to fit a tapejera. Once you’ve done that find a good tapejera and eat a bunch of rare flowers. It will start to attack you (Make sure that your flying on a pteradon with good health(otherwise ground creatures will attack you)) then fly into the cage and shut the door and KO that thing.

Crouch towards it until your sure you can get it with your Bola (about two foundations) or it runs away. If you did get it in your Bola trank it with headshots. If it ran away use rare flowers to lead it somewhere safe and repeat the process. Also you might die from the tapejara.

Not a good fighter as pteranodon but you can freaking dodge barrel rolls with these, so maneuverable. You can go sideways and backwards and stuff. These things are like Attack helicopters

Warning!!

The kibble is off, at least when the Dex is set to 2x!

It is affected by rare flowers, so agro it with rare flowers and lure it into your taming cage.

I HAVE TRIED USING RARE FLOWERS BUT IT DONE WORK 😭😭

No need to use any kibble or mutton on a low level. Just prime meat.

Tamed one today but lost my arge to a giga… good trade I guess.

If you sit in a different seat on the saddle without a tribe mate flying it and your too close to the while shooting your tapejara will fly to the ground stay high and don't die

How do you manage to sneak up on one of these? The moment they are spooked, they take off at a ridiculously awesome speed?
