Leaping Hatchling

This is my absolute favorite pet, and I'm glad to say that I own him. My boyfriend actually ended up finding the nest and getting the pet for me because we were looking for it. The tree was a little bit hard to find, but once you're in the area, it's sort of on top of a climbable mountain, if that helps anyone. That's what was stopping me from actually finding him until I was told that I had to climb a bit to find the nest beside the tree.

Best way to farm this guy (as Horde) is to link your hearthstone to the little area to the north (Nozzlepot's Outpost), then skim down the tree spawns whenever you go to visit Orgammir. 50% of the time I check I come across the nest, so it makes trying for him much easier.

i love this little guy its my new lucky pet, i have found it 3/4 times and have found the spawn with it at the same time, im on trall and i find it at 64.16 23.07 i hope this helps

This hatchling was -- and still is -- the easiest for me to get. I go there at random times (usually 2AM on Gorgannash!). Four out of five times I have gotten it.

I just got this companion right after i killed his dad, takk

For those searching for this pet, I've read, and have now experienced, that the nests spawn independently of the named mobs. They're on different timers, and the named do not trigger the nests, nor vice-versa. Don't bother searching for the named, just look at the locations shown on wowhead for the nests, and check back periodically.

Good hunting!

just found one under a tree at 65.0/28.7

It took me 5 minutes to find Takk and the nest. I will keep this cutie and get another to sell on ah :D

I just started Collecting Pets and thought this would be a good one to start with. I went straight to the area and was almost gonna give up looking when suddenly, I saw Takk! I killed him and went to the tree he was by but I didn't find it. Looked around all the trees for about an hour and no nests. When I logged on about 5 hours later I went to start looking for Takk again but instead found the nest! I love this little guy and its a good starting pet!

Just found Takk's nest around 62-20 in Northern Badlands close to the base of one of the big trees. I didn't really pay attention to the coordinates... just searched around the base of the trees! Good luck! Love this little guy!

The first week cata was launched I found this pet up to 3 times a day. I had sooo many of them I was just giving them to my friends and selling a few on the AH. I figured I would find more so I didn't even use one because at the time I wasn't sure what character was going to collect pets. Its now been a month since I have seen the nest :(

Just found this guy at 59.8 as I was marking places on my map to look for! He completes the nest raptors for me :O)

I found Takk at 12:40am server time (Draka) no nest... so I kept checking back about every 30 minutes or so and found the nest at 3:21am server time... hope this helps and hope ya'll catch the lil guy

UPDATE... found the nest again today at 4:07pm server time in the same spot next to the big tree... really easy to spot

Wow! I was practicing with Tom Tom and a nest spawned within an hour. Lucky lucky day today. At the 60.7, 13.2 tree. 10:00 PM Central. Gotta love those reptiles.

When I first heard of this cute little monster, I just HAD to go and get him. I went over to the Barrens, long and behold, there's Takk. I read that if you killed him, the egg nest spawns a little after. So I killed him. No luck, waited 3 hours. The next day I thought I'd have luck. Saw Takk and killed him, again no luck. Gave up for a day. 2 Days later, I made an undead DK to look around, there's Takk. Killed him. 5 Minutes later, there's the nest. The wait was definitely worth it!!!

So I have been wondering, Will this pet disappear along with the Razzashi hatchling when Cata comes out? I can't imagine Takk the leaper frolicking happily around anymore when the barrens is ripped in two. Perhaps the majority of the raptor pets will be replaced with the new skeletal model?

This was my last of the 4 hatchling (that come from nests) to get. I was starting to get my hopes up after checking several times considering I have found many of the other dinos more than once. I was checking again when I found Takk and killed him just for fun I took a look around knowing that they have around the same respawn time but not luck :[ i went AFK for a lil while and came back to check and BAM there was da lil nest :D I guess its common for horde to snatch the lil fella first though

These guys (and all raptors in eggs) are great to put alts that you don't use very much by. Just login to them once in a while and see if the egg is there, if it isn't just log off and play what character you usually play. The raptors are great gifts too, like when you want to show appreciation for those in your guild who always craft things for you. :D

I don't have the patience for camping, so I would do a long run to check Takk's Nest, Razormaw Matriarch's Nest, and Ravasaur Matriarch's Nest in the same trip a couple times a day for about a week. I logged out near Takk's Nest area and found the nest upon logging back in 8 hours later. I've never seen Takk or any raptors in Takk's area until I finally found the nest, and even then I only saw three raptors huddled near the nest. Glad to finally mark this one off the list!
