I read the guide, but I think I am dumb. How do I kill/cook a dodo? I killed one with a pick axe, then it gives me the option to drag the dodo. I dragged it to my fire, but nothing happens. I tried beating the crap out of a dead dodo with a pick and hatchet, and still nothing. Can't figure out how to actually get meat or hide.

I guess I am the dodo. Figured it out.

Knock em out and train em'. Just have plenty of raw meat and narco berries. (25 of each at least) I noticed the higher level Dilos take more meat to tame. I went in with 10 and it wasnt enough for a level 5 dilo.
