So I have gotten incredibly addicted to playing ARK survival evolved lately and come across a lot of various adventures in it. the server I play on is rather peaceful player wise, but the wild dinos are a different matter. this is just a run of my horrible luck with chasing parasaurs as my first tamed dino. first they're quite fast when fleeing from your slingshot while you try to knock them out. my first few I accidently chased into deep water where they were nommed by awaiting megalodons. one i knocked out and was working on when i was jumped by a dilophosaur who killed me then promptly ate my unconscious parasaur. another time I returned to one i was taming after collecting berries and found he was dinner for a pack of dilos. after that i managed to fully tame one and brought it back to camp with me. day or so later one of my friends was running around near base and saw a level one brontosaurus and firugred they could take it. it proceeded to curbstomp half our camp and my parasaur. I tamed one after that along with a dilophosaurus and had them for a while in a dino pen, but......a carnotaurus came too close to camp and managed to wiggle into the pen (it had only basic wall height at the time) and nommed them both. he was however stuck in my pen and was gnawing on the wall when i knocked him out and proceeded to have him for dinner while i got more supplies to repair my home. so i've given up on defenseless dinos to tame and currently have a trike named Tony and a green raptor named Yoshi in my pen.
