I've found that killing fish, not necessarily eating them, is what heals them the most.
Baryonyx
The Baryonyx is a large crocodile-like predator. While it might lack in attack power, its ability to swim extremtly fast makes it a fierce opponent — especially with its ability to travel on both land and in water.

What ARK players use the Baryonyx for, and how to get the most out of it in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
While it may look less threatening than a Carno, Baryonyx is still a very viable choice of mount, especially considering the fact that it’s more maneuverable than a Carno, especially in water, where it can stun anything its size with a tailspin. In addition, due to being a…
While it may look less threatening than a Carno, Baryonyx is still a very viable choice of mount, especially considering the fact that it’s more maneuverable than a Carno, especially in water, where it can stun anything its size with a tailspin. In addition, due to being a swamp native, leeches will ignore it. Much better mount overall in my opinion, with the only downsides being it’s frail at low levels and fairly rare.
Must have for early level sea creature taming. It’s aoe spin destroys rays and the shocking stingers, even when stunned, and can 1v1 a megladon easy. Makes clearing them for that one your after to tame a breeze. Upvote!
One of the most underrated dinos on ARK. Easy tame, just aggro let it get out of the water then bola it. Its the ATV of ark. Very underrated. Its fast on land and water. Having megladon problems? Baryonyx it. Stuns them, even in groups, then collects all that prime fish meat!!…

Take it to upper south cave and murder the ever living fuck out of every single piranha that you can find. It regenerates health just by killing the fishes, and while the piranhas are too small to be affected by the stun effect, the spin attack still has a full 360 AoE. The…

The Baryonyx will effectively cancel out ANY damage dealt by those little pests!
Take it to a river and kill a big sabertooth salmon and get hundreds of fish
This Dino helps you and your fellow tribe mates go underwater and stun things!
Great deep sea exploration mount. Stop swimming to regain stamina, it doesn't need to go back to land. Keep an eye out for squids or you'll have to sacrifice your Barry. Rip Barry Bonds
Do not tame this using a Dino they can knock you off
When you level it up to around 150 it can kill a mammoth in two bites I would use this for underwater caves and above ground underwater caves
10/10 best land mount in the game, rivaling the thyla. It may not be the strongest but it's a lot more useful than the spino since it fits in almost all of the caves of the island
It is faster than a sarco on land, but slower than a sarco in water. Choose.
Like to fix the no resource gathering on weak Dino’s
The Baryonyx kibble should be used to tame another creature in ark mobile, as the megalania isn’t there in Mobile. Hopefully the game can update this.
Can go in caves at least some of them
If someone want fish meat then baryonyx is best for me it can harvest 10 fish meat from coelacanth and more than 3 stack from megalodon
Regular bolas also works
That's how I got mine when I was leavel 8
These things are extremely good for most caves, they are the best to use in the lava cave and center cave.
Best all round mount in my opinion like the fact that their fast on land and water they can also be bred for mutations and become extremely op and fast so yeah tame these bois If you ever see one
Their like super raptors minus raptors pounce attack and that these can electrocute in water
Really sad it just eat fish..look at he face and creppy smile..just like he cousin spino(maybe)
