Every number in this card is at official 1× rates, with the fastest food. Taming speed and food consumption multipliers change all of it, and most servers are not on official — the calculator at the top of this tab takes your rates, a Sanguine Elixir, and every other food this creature will eat.
Effectiveness is what decides the bonus levels: every unit of food eaten costs a slice of it, so the food that needs the fewest units finishes at the highest level. That is why kibble is worth the trouble — not that it is much faster, but that it is fewer feedings.
Torpor drains at 0.8333 per second while it is unconscious, so on a long tame you will need Narcotic to keep it down. The calculator works out how much.

Abilities
what it does and how you trigger it 
- Bite
The Archaeopteryx bites the target for 5 damage.
5 stamina · 0.67s cooldown - Glide R
When the Archaeopteryx is on the player's hands, alternates between glide or not while in air.
- Carryable By Humans
The Archaeopteryx can be picked up by players on their hands, disabling any action that requires the hands such as using tools or harvest bushes. While carrying it, the Archaeopteryx can attack from the player's hands if it has range, also it cannot take damage unless the player dies or is thrown off by the player. While in hands the weight that the Archaeopteryx has in its inventory will weigh half as much to the player. When the player is carrying the Archa, they will fall slowly to any height. When the Archa is wandering on the Redwood biome, it will begin to generate passively
Sap on its inventory.
