They are fast so stay away from these as far as you can as they may accidentally go toward you and aggro on you,

if you want to live near water then build your base on cliff or else a spino may spawn near your base and destroy it

To kill it you must have a flyer to hunt it down when it running away.Stand on a cliff and rain arrows on it

Although they may seem scary but a low lv one can be easily killed by a medium lv trike

That all the tip i can give from my ark playthough
