Tips & Strategies
I tamed one of these bois in a trap when it was level 80. I used it to get oil at sea because my base was on the beach. If you decide to do the same as me I will warn you one thing, stay clear of the jellyfish. They killed my sarco at level 138 it was defenseless because it got put to sleep. But it is good for quickly getting lots of oil early in the game, just make sure it’s safe.
Get a bow with trans arrows (1-5) for low level, go on a rock if you are low level and shoot it with tranqs. However wait for it to finish attacking animals and other Dino’s or it may be killed by them when unconscious.
You can tame with normal meat
And they are found in swamp
This is a great tame from early game to mid game it’s easy to knock out I recommend for you to atleast get hide armor and I also recommend tranq arrows but if your desperate like me use a sling shot to the head they will still be knocked out if you get a pair you can breed them and they will be a good tame!
I recommend taming one, they are super fast in the water, and they do a LOT of damage. I have tamed carnos and therizos but my one Sarco is the strongest one, I easily killed a megalodon and mine is only level 25, I only leveled up the stamina, speed and melee strength. Knocking it put is easy, just get it to follow you on land then throw some tranq arrows or darts to knock it out and feed it raw meat
DEAR MOBILE PLAYER
Here's my personal experience
Sarco is strong creature with decent agility
Normal attack - Sarco will bite, deal damage twice to enemy. You can immediately turn your Sarco around by look back and do this attack
Swipe Up Attack - Sarco will lauch it self forward at short distance and deal damage to enemy in front of it. This attack more damage than normal attack (per damage, keep in mind that normal attack deal damage twice). You can't do this attack in the water.
Swipe Down Attack - Sarco will grap (only) small creature and do dead-roll that deal even more damage than Swipe Up Attack.
Plus :
1. Easy to tame, because you can outrun it (on land)
2. Fast movement in water
3. Immune form aggro if you tame it in Caves (You can find it in Clever Cave)
Negs :
1. Terrible hit box, you need really good precision to hit something with this guy
2. Starving like crazy when swimming
3. Hard to deal with large amount of enemy
If you tame sarco from clever cave than dinos won't attack you if you don't believe me just try it yourself

TAME THESE MASSIVE SWAMP A- HOLES :DD
Try to tame a male and female get them to 60+ Level and start breeding with every baby you get imprint and then start breeding imprinted ones, once you get a mutation imprint that but because that one will be a really good sarco when adult make it strong enough just incase you come upon something horrifically strong that you need to fight, and ur alone with ur mutated imprinted sarco, and in my opinion there the best for water caves there fast, strong though there not a “boss” type of Dino there good for underwater caves and exploring the ocean but if you wanna explore the ocean make them really strong because when I was a noob I had a lvl 55 sarco I took it out in the ocean (it wasn’t imprinted) AND A LVL 10 MEGLADON ALONE KILLED IT 😀. There really fast and agile in water and if you turn ur screen behind them and bite they will do a really fast turn.
Up if this helped 😊

ITS SO EASY TO TAME!!! You don’t even need a weapon I tamed a level 20 by getting by its back legs, hitting it with bare hands and when it spins run back to the legs. Then shove fish down its throat and bam, a sarco. Mine is level 93 now and I ride it in the ocean and kill megalodons for fun (I have also tamed a megalodon I aren’t losing the opportunity) now lizzy the sarco is my favourite tame ever
Get at there back legs and follow in circle on land if in water pray for mercy
If you find it near your base just tame it you won't regret it. I tamed 1 I first thought it wasn't that fast then I took it in the water then I realized my mistake . Holy crap that's fast
