The former is basically a large fish, which can be tamed easily while the latter is a seagull that feasts of fish.

The Leedsichthys in Ark: Survival Evolved Patch v256 can be harvested from time to time for a tad of prime fish. The interesting part here? Well, it can be done without having to kill it. To complete the list of new species in the game is no other than the Iguanodon. This creature is a large herbivore in nature and is known for its ability to acquire fruits easily. Apart from that, it's a good companion in combat.

Aside from the aforementioned, new structures have also arrived to Studio Wildcard's tentpole title. There's this TEK Teleporter, as well as underwater bases. Ark: Survival Evolved Patch v256 also brought with it the TEK Mosa Saddle along with a power generator. Above all of these changes is the major upgrade the studio did on the game's Inventory Menu, as reported by IBTimes.
