New Dinoaddition in ARK: This is the Carcharodontosaurus
English Deutsch
On Friday, September 2nd, 2022, Studio Wildcard announced a new dinosaur that will appear in ARK: Survival Evolved at the end of this year: the Carcharodontosaurus.
We’ll help you through the new information and tell you what you can expect. According to the developers, the Carcharodontosaurus will be a major competitor for the previously strongest and most feared predators, like the Giga in ARK: Survival Evolved.
The Dossiers of the Carcharodontosaurus in ARK
What the Dossier tells about the new ARK addition:
- Common name: Carcharodontosaurus
- Species: Carcharodontosaurus medicupestis
- Time: Late Cretaceous
- Diet: Carnivore
- Temperament: Aggressive
Wild:
“I feel lucky to have crossed paths with Carcharodontosaurus medicupestis and lived to tell the tale. Though I’m not sure if this predator grows bigger than a Giganotosaurus, I hope never to find out. Just one of these bruisers held its own against an army of us, and that encounter cost us dearly.
Carcharodontosaurus can sweep aside attackers with its tail, but it’s the other end you’ll really want to avoid. It has teeth like steak knives, set in jaws strong enough to shred most prey. Even a near-miss will carve you up, but good.
Like its namesake, the great white shark, Carcharodontosaurus gets more dangerous once it tastes blood. Each kill seems to give these monsters a rush and drive it into a berserker frenzy.”
Domesticated:
“Anyone that manages to tame a Carcharodontosaurus will gain a new way to rally their tribe for battle. There’s something about this monster’s roar that drives others to fight — a war cry for Hell’s own army.
The more tactical tribes will let their Carcharodontosaurus tear through the mid-sized creatures in their enemy’s ranks, thereby building up its blood rage to take on the largest threats.
Talk about shock and awe!”
What the Dossier tells us about the Carcharodontosaurus
Appearance
The appearance of the Carcharodontosaurus is the typical carnivore look, with an unmistakable resemblance to its relatives like the Giga, T-Rex, and Allosaurus.
It has strong and large legs, which will probably allow him to have a high movement speed-just for the size. The body of the Carcharodontosaurus seems quite massive, with a thick, muscular tail. The arms are longer than the T-Rex or Carnotaurus, but not particularly large either.
Spikes run down its back from head to tail. The massive spikes on the back of its head are the first ones you notice because of their size, however, don’t underestimate the spikes on its tail. Similar to the Carno, the Carcharodontosaurus has two horns, growing to the side, which are significantly smaller compared to those of its relative.
Size
If you look at the bottom on the right side of the dossier, you can see a small drawing of the Carcharodontosaurus placed next to the silhouette of a T-Rex, with three hooks above it.
This suggests that the Carcharodontosaurus is probably about three times larger than the T-Rex, which makes it similar in size to the Giga.
Rideability
Additionally, in the lower right corner of the dossier, you can see a belt, that represents the rideability after taming. Underneath the belt, you can see a tick and a cross. The only other creature in ARK, who got the same symbols, is the Giga, with the meaning, that can ride it until it goes into a frenzy. Accordingly, it’s possible that the Carcharodontosaurus will also lose its rideability at some point. It remains to be seen whether it will also attack its allies in rage mode, like the Giga.
Abilities
Bloodlust: According to the dossier, the Carcharodontosaurus falls into a berserker frenzy after eating and tasting opponents’ or attackers’ blood, which will increase its attack power, making it even more dangerous. This ability helps it become an ideal partner in boss or PVP fights, as long as he doesn’t see his allies as food or opponents.
Roar: The description of how the Carcharodontosaurus uses its roar to lead its allies into a battle is similar to the ability of the Yutyrannus, which also uses its roar to boost the team’s attack power and motivation. It remains to be seen whether the effects of the Carcharodontosaurus- roar are different from the Yutyrannus-roar, or whether it offers other advantages.
Attacks: Aside from the normal biting attacks, the dossier mentions that the Carcharodontosaurus can also use its tail to attack, by using it to launch its attackers or opponents through the air, like the tail attacks of a Bronto.
How to tame the new Dinosaur
At this point, there is no reveal about the taming method you need to use. Presumably, it’ll be the knockout method, that is used with most carnivores of that type: You have to keep shooting at the target until it faints. Then use its favorite food to tame the unconscious dinosaur.
Where to find the Carcharodontosaurus in ARK?
We can only speculate about the maps, where the Carcharodontosaurus will be found in ARK: Survival Evolved.
But if you go by the picture that was published with the announcement, you can assume that it will at least be found in Genesis: Part 1

Did Noah have dinosaurs in the ark?
Hello everyone.
It’s me, Zhorzhik.
Today I am on a tour of Noah’s Ark.
The builders of the ark said that it was exactly the same size as Noah built it. Here I learned that this ark is the largest wooden structure in the world.
Imagine that you are inside a huge house-ship with three floors. The 500-year-old Noah lives on the top with his family, and everywhere there are thousands of animals, including a dozen young dinosaurs. nine0003
— Yes, the guides say, there were dinosaurs in the ark. They escaped along with the rest of the animals during the flood, which happened 4350 years ago.
“But the tyrannosaurus could have eaten the sheep, or anyone else in the ark,” I interrupt the tour guide.
“No, all the sheep remained intact,” they answered me. Animals before the Flood ate only plant foods. Therefore, the food in the ark — hay, cereals, dried fruits — did not deteriorate during the multi-day voyage. It was prepared for the future so that everyone had enough.
nine0003
“But the tyrannosaurus rex is a huge lizard,” I persisted, “it wouldn’t even fit through the doors of the ark and wouldn’t fit in the cage.
— Noah took only young animals into the ark. Think for yourself, why keep adult large animals in the ark? They need more food and space. The young tyrannosaurus was a little bit big of a sheep.
— What happened to the dinosaurs after the flood?
— They died out, like many other animals. Most likely, they were destroyed by people. It is also possible that after the Flood, the types of plants that the dinosaurs ate disappeared, or the reservoirs in which they lived dried up. nine0003
“Well, I learned something new, too,” I said to myself. “It never crossed my mind that dinosaurs were on the ark.”
By the way, I asked some guys during the tour what they thought of the ark. They replied that they liked everything here very much.
And I wish everyone to get into Noah’s Ark.
By the way, there is one free cage with a sign «Do not feed» 🙂
See you at Christmas in Bethlehem. >>
Zhorzhik
“I see that the animals lived well in the ark. They were well fed. I wouldn’t mind living in the same cage with them.»
David Sh., 12, Ukraine
“It is interesting to see and better understand how everything was arranged. For some reason, I always thought that the heads of giraffes and the trunks of elephants were sticking out of the ark, as in the pictures. Now I understand that this is not so. I see how well everything was organized.” nine0003
Esther P., 14, USA
“I liked caged dinosaurs the most. There are many animals, they scream, but it smells nice everywhere.”
Andrew A., 6, USA
“I noticed that this ark was built in just a few years, and Noah built his ark for a hundred years.
That’s what modern technology means.»
David M., 10, USA
“This ark is really big! I mean very, very, very big! REALLY, REALLY BIG!
Anton S., 16, USA
Hello everyone. It’s me, George. Today I’m on a tour of Noah’s Ark.
Faith grew stronger. Where did museums with dinosaurs in Noah’s Ark come from in the USA and why does this bother no one? The picture of the world in which the Book of Genesis, with Eden, Adam and Eve, Noah and the Flood, as well as all the accompanying myths, is a historical reality, looks completely ordinary to them. However, dinosaurs are added to the formula, which originated in the mists of time. Lenta.ru tells how American far-right evangelists are forcing more and more people to believe in a literal reading of all the myths of the Bible. nine0003
Miraculous Hammer
Miracles usually happen unexpectedly, because if everyone expects it, it will no longer be a miracle.
And if everyone expects a miracle, it usually doesn’t happen for some reason. In the same way, in 1936, Max Hahn and his wife Emma did not think that something extraordinary would happen to them when they went for a walk near their home, near the city of London — not British, but American, in the state of Texas.
The couple walked about ten kilometers from the city, towards the waterfalls, intending to spend the day admiring nature, when Max suddenly discovered a strange stone. It was unlike the others, and a piece of wood was sticking right out of it. Khan became interested in a strange artifact and took it home. nine0003
Some time later (apparently in the late 1940s) Max and Emily’s son George cracked open the stone and discovered that the wooden handle was attached to a metal hammer that supposedly «showed no signs of oxidation and only later acquired a brownish color.» However, none of this can be said for sure. In some versions of the story, Max is called Frank for some reason, and the action is transferred to 1934.
If you think seriously, there was nothing unusual about her. A certain 19th-century workaholic working in a mine dropped a hammer near a waterfall, and due to natural mineralization processes, it turned out to be encased in limestone. nine0003

It probably would not have gained any popularity if not for biblical creationist Walter Lang. He knew George and had published an article in the Bible-Science Newsletter arguing that the hammer was in the limestone of the Silurian period, which means that it proves that people lived then — everything is written in the Old Testament.
This idea was very liked by Carl Bo, a supporter of young earth creationism, within which it is proposed to understand the Bible literally, up to a specific chronology. And if we consider that no more than ten thousand years have passed since the creation of the world, then the hammer fits perfectly into it! nine0003
Young Earth apologists do not deny that dinosaurs once roamed the earth.
But this «once», in their opinion, was not at all millions of years ago, but only a few thousand. And they, of course, coexisted with people
One way or another, but Karl Bo, who spent almost his entire life looking for direct evidence of the Word of God, could not help but be interested in the hammer. He bought it in 1983 and has been tossing around with it ever since, making one crazy statement after another.
It is not surprising, given Bo’s restlessness, that he was visited by the desire to present to the public all the evidence for the coexistence of people and dinosaurs, of which, in addition to the hammer, he had accumulated a lot by that time. In 1984, he opened the Creation Evidence Museum in Texas.
In appearance, its building resembles a large greenhouse. Here you can find fossilized footprints of dinosaurs side by side with human ones, as well as many other fossils, allegedly proving that the Earth has existed for no more than ten thousand years, and fossil species became extinct solely due to the Great Flood.
It is worth noting that many of these fossils were forged in 1930s, but the founder of the museum is not particularly worried.
There is even a hyperbaric chamber here, which allegedly recreated the «antediluvian atmosphere», which, according to Carl Bo, gave living beings the opportunity to live longer, grow taller, and also made them kind and smart. He states this not unfounded — in his own words, fruit flies lived in this pressure chamber three times longer, and toxins come out of the snakes.
As for the ancient hammer, it is also on display. What’s more, Carl Bo has made a bunch of copies of it and sells them as souvenirs to gullible visitors. Of course, he did not give this tool to any independent examination, which does not prevent him from telling that the hammer consists of an ideal alloy unknown to mankind and generally has wonderful properties. nine0003
My Being
The Carl Bo Museum is far from the only creationist museum in the world. However, most of these institutions are located in the United States.
Usually they are marginal — located in strange hard-to-reach locations and exist on the money of specific enthusiasts.
The Creation Museum in Kentucky is different. This majestic building was built by the Christian fundamentalist organization Answers in Genesis, which advocates a literal interpretation of not only the entire Bible, but Genesis in particular. The creation of the world in seven days, the expulsion from Eden, the flood, the Tower of Babel — all the oldest biblical myths, which even most modern Christians consider allegorical parables, and not stories about real events, these people take as seriously as possible. They are ready to fight for their point of view and look for its direct evidence. nine0003
Ken Ham

It is worth noting here that, despite this, the creator of the American branch of Answers in Genesis, Australian creationist Ken Ham, does not like competition very much and especially Karl Bo, which seems to be doing the same thing.
In 1996, he stated that the fossils on display at the Bo Museum raised «questions from the leading researchers of creation» and needed further research, and also called a competitor «Hollywood Moses», hinting that he was hungry for any sensationalism. nine0003
Ham’s brainchild! You can’t call it marginal. The appearance and interior, as well as the approach to the exposition, tell visitors: these are not jokes, not crazy people work here and they have something to say. The Creation Museum in Kentucky really looks like a good, solid natural history museum. And the main goal of such a museum is to provide valuable information for those who came to look at its exposition. Most importantly, the creationists here do not reject science, they encourage you to think, what if everything is not the way it has been told to you for the last hundred years in schools? nine0003
Jurassic Museum
Adult visitors will have to pay almost $30 to get inside and another $8 to visit the planetarium.
Right at the entrance, guests will be offered to take pictures against the backdrop of a green screen and immediately put them in the picture against the backdrop of Noah’s Ark or the Garden of Eden. However, dinosaurs can also be chosen as a background, which, according to the authors of the exposition, undoubtedly existed in the time of Noah.
After that, visitors enter the spacious central hall, from where they can get to the «Noah’s Cafe» or go further along the exposition. It starts with a diorama showing a mechanical T-Rex and two boys playing with it, and a biodiversity exhibit. Nearby is a room called «The Excavations», where paleontologists dig up a fossilized dinosaur skeleton. nine0003
The slogan on the wall immediately defines what the museum is going to tell the visitor: “Same facts, different views… Why?”. That is, it is clear that now one paleontologist will dig up a dinosaur and draw one conclusion, and his comrade-in-arms, in front of whom the open Bible lies, will draw another
explain the world around us, including the Bible,” warn visitors on a special sign. They have to understand that the creationists are right, because God is one thing, and some people who took some ideas from the ceiling and decided that this is how it will be is another thing. nine0003
What this way of thinking leads to is shown by «Graffiti Alley», which is the scenery of a dark alley, painted with conditional punks, where articles torn from newspapers hang. The topics of the articles are terrorists, stem cell research, gay marriages, euthanasia, school shootings. And the conclusion: the decline of Christianity in America is to blame for everything. There is also a broken wall of the Protestant church. A wall-beaten ball “millions of years” crashed into it, symbolizing all the concepts that are obviously false for Answers in Genesis — evolution, the history of mankind and other heretical fabrications that undermine the foundations of society. nine0003
Dinosaurs meet the visitor not only at the entrance. Probably, Ken Ham and his comrades were well aware of how attractive they are to children, so prehistoric pangolins illustrate several biblical myths at once. Their real fossils are also presented in the exposition
And if visitors have a question, why, if dinosaurs lived side by side with people only a few thousand years ago, there were no legends about them, the answer is near, at the exit, in the bookstore under called «Dragon Hall». Remember the legends of knights and dragons? Exactly. In confirmation of this version, a Pteranodon spread its leathery wings over the entrance to the bookstore, which is made in the style of a medieval castle. nine0003
The Last Days
As Discover magazine correspondent Bruno Maddox points out, Answers in Genesis completely disarms opponents by not pretending to be right.
«Yes, I can wander through the scenery of Eden and look at the tree of knowledge, but every time I want to say that all this is anti-scientific, I am reminded that this is all just a theory, a possible scenario, the most possible option.» There are always two points of view. Here, for example, are the same two paleontologists mentioned above, one of whom looks at a regular textbook, and the other at the Bible. nine0003
This does not explicitly state that one point of view is bad and the other is good, the visitor is simply told that perception depends on the point of reference. It is then that he will be gently led to the conclusion that it is still better to start counting from the Word of God, otherwise welcome to Graffiti Alley.
Ken Ham himself leaves no doubt about it. In a speech he gave at the 2013 Answers in Genesis conference, he talked about how he believes the last days are near, and therefore you need to be «preachers of virtue» in order to catch the new «Noah’s Ark», which will provide salvation — for the Day of Judgment is coming. nine0003
Dinosaur Ship
The Creation Museum is Ken Ham’s first but not the last. And if he doesn’t have enough money for the Tower of Babel and the Middle Eastern city of the first century AD, then just five years ago, Noah’s Ark (Arc Encounter attraction) was opened not far from the museum, made, according to its creators, according to information given in the Old Testament.
This is a huge wooden ship 155 meters long, 26 meters wide and 18 meters high. But no matter how big it was, as explained in the exposition, large dinosaurs did not fit into it — this is the reason for their extinction
Not so big? Of course there were. As the creators explain, the word “dinosaurs” was coined in 1841, and before that it can be fully assumed that prehistoric animals were completely included in the category “cattle”, from which the Lord commanded Noah to take at least a pair of animals — a male and a female.
So the dinosaurs of medium size lived quietly and lived until the Middle Ages, becoming dragons in the annals. Of course, they were not fire-breathing, but fear has large eyes. But there were few of them, they bred poorly, and then the knights got into the habit of hunting them — that’s all they destroyed. nine0003
Proponents of the “young earth” theory believe that there was room for many dinosaurs in the ark, and this point of view, of course, is also reflected in the Ark Encounter attraction, in whose numerous pens, in addition to modern species, there are also models of prehistoric dinosaurs.
Of course, the Kentucky ark isn’t all about dinosaurs and a pointlessly large wooden boat. This, like the Creation Museum, is a place where ideas are put into the minds of especially the young generation that it would be nice to think about “how things really were”, as they say, “ask questions”. nine0003
How do you think the Grand Canyon came about, for example? Is it really the fact that water has gradually worn away the stone for millions of years? And what if not for millions of years, but overnight, just when the flood happened? And if adults who have received an education and have an established view of the world can calmly shrug their shoulders, then a child will listen with his mouth open
At the same time, Ken Ham understands that words are one thing, and personal experience is quite another. “How will you reach the maximum number of people? he argues. “Why not with mass attractions like Disneyland or Universal Studios?” And the best place for this kind of projects is, of course, America. nine0003
A battle between two evangelists
In 2014, science evangelist and well-known youth science television host Bill Nye expressed his willingness to take part in a debate with Ken Ham, realizing that he would smash his arguments to smithereens. The creationist accepted the challenge.
During the conversation, the opponents definitely did not hear each other. And while rationally minded science bloggers unanimously declared that the science popularizer just “ate Ham for lunch,” Christian activists just as categorically gave the victory to the leader of Answers in Genesis. nine0003
As the Daily Beast noted, «if you listened carefully, you realized that scientifically Ham’s words meant nothing.» Nevertheless, the debate is a matter of «general impression, not facts.» And Ham looked like a self-confident, sane person, capable of parrying attacks in his direction and adequately continuing the conversation. What mattered was not what he said, but how he said it.
Debate between Ken Ham and Bill Nye
Frame: “Answers in Genesis” channel / Youtube
Ken Ham declared himself at that moment as «an apologist for Christianity not afraid of science». During the debate, he stressed that only a literal reading of Genesis could save America from moral decline, while his opponent’s scientifically based point of view would inevitably lead to dark times.
At the same time, the fundamentalist did not disdain himself to create the impression of an apologist for scientific knowledge. In response to Nye’s remark that Ham’s views are contrary to the emergence of innovation, he replied that many scientists and inventors adhere to creationist views. And the «correct» science, in his opinion, not only does not refute the theory of the «young Earth», but actively confirms it. nine0003
Ken Ham didn’t need science to prove his point. He could calmly declare that faith is enough for a true Christian. However, he chose a different path and quite possibly convinced many hesitant Christians who were unsure how to interpret Genesis
Ham used an important rhetorical device: he divided science into «applied» and «historical». “If we are talking about the fact that we can study humans and monkeys now, then we are talking about applied science,” he said. — But if someone claims that millions of years ago, ape-like creatures turned into people — what is it? This is historical science. What if we say that God created Adam from the earth? This is also historical science. nine0003
As to why Genesis, at least in recent centuries, is taken not literally, the answer to this question is simple: sin. People allegedly feel in their hearts where lies and where truth is, and according to Ken Ham, in the Word of God, which is the Bible. And since the Bible is the Word of God, then taking it otherwise than literally is sacrilege.
***
Unlike the smaller creation museums scattered across America, the Kentucky Creation Museum is something very different. He is not at all an anomaly, which, as it might seem, exists in the backyard of American society, in the corner where people who believe in reptilians and wear tinfoil hats sit.
