More about taming the Velonasaur
Velonasaur must be knocked out before taming. Use a Bow with Tranq Arrows or a Longneck Rifle with Tranquilizer Darts to sedate it. Immobilize it first with a Chain Bola or Bear Trap.
The best food is Regular Kibble, with Raw Mutton also effective. Taming takes about 13 minutes and requires 9 kibble at level 150. No Narcotics are needed. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Velonasaur takes +200% more damage from spike walls, making them highly effective in defense. It is also vulnerable to explosions and melee attacks with metal weapons. Conversely, it is highly resistant to mining drill damage and piercing projectiles, reducing incoming damage by 100% and 50% respectively.
The Velonasaur has zone-specific damage multipliers. Head shots deal 10% more damage, while tail hits take 50% more. Aim for the tail during knockout attempts for faster sedation.
