Have you ever considered how many animals could be active on a single map of ARK Survival Evolved? So far, we have counted the following quantities on average:
Rhyniognatha is an extinct genus of arthropods and is often considered the oldest flying insect. Named after the place where it was found, Rhynie in Scotland, and the Greek word "gnathos" (the pine).
It is said to add an original style of creature, using a species almost forgotten in ARK: Insects! It's also a way to make the sky more dangerous, even if you've already tamed a flying mount! Plus, once it's tamed, it becomes a mount in the endgame! This creature was suggested by Zichfried.
I consider myself lucky to have encountered Carcharodontosaurus medicupestis and survived to tell the tale. While I'm not sure if this predator grows larger than a Giganotosaurus, I hope I never find out. A single one of these powerhouses held its own against an entire army of us, and that encounter cost us dearly.
The Carcharodontosaurus can sweep attackers aside with its tail, but it's the other end you should really be wary of. It has teeth like steak knives stuck in a jaw strong enough to shred most prey. Even a near miss will shred you, but good.
Fjordur will be a free, official, non-canon DLC expansion map coming to ARK: Survival Evolved on June 12, 2022. Expected "features" from the new map:
