Description

The Pelagornis is one of the two new dinos introduced in the update 245 for Ark: Survival Evolved. The pelagornis (pelican for short) is not much a fighting bird at all. It can't even pick up pick. But, it makes up for that with its versatility. Its favorite kibble is Compy kibble.

Wild: The much larger ancestor of water birds like the stork or pelican, Pelagornis miocaenus shares many traits with its modern-day brethren. However, it seems to spend much more time hunting for fish over the open deep-sea.
Domesticated: Because of its ability to fly, walk, and surface-swim, a tamed Pelagornis is one of the island's most versatile mounts, but this comes at a cost. The same webbed feet that allow Pelagornis to serenely maneuver along the ocean's surface prevent it from snatching prey from the ground, which may limit its appeal to some survivors.
Known Information: In fact, I have rarely spotted a wild Pelagornis anywhere near the coasts of the main Island, as it prefers to rest its wings by paddling along on the ocean's surface rather than waddling along the Island's beaches. Perhaps this behavior is a result of its survival instincts. The early Miocene was a post-dinosaur epoch, after all, and Pelagornis would not be accustomed to such predators. Considering how quickly it flees from humans, one can hardly blame its caution.

A relative of modern seagulls, Pelagornis is instantly recognizable from the more common Icthyornis by its size. With a wingspan rivaling Argentavis, it also possesses a beak filled with tooth-like projections for snagging fish, as well as webbed feet for paddling upon the ocean surface when it must rest its wings.

The most effective strategy for downing Pelagornis is to use a regular bow with tranquilizer arrows. Crossbows and compound bows will usually kill them before actually downing them due to their low amount of health.

Best way to down them seems to shoot them, when they're swimming, so they don't drown.

The dossier was revealed on 05/30/16.[2]
The Pelagornis miocaenus is the same name as the type species of genus Pelagornis, the genus name means 'miocene' in Latin.
With a wingspan of around 6 m (20 ft), Pelagornis was one of the longest wingspan flying birds in history (Argentavis could have been bigger, but its wingspan is unknown).
