Tips & Strategies
I would recommend only using superior kibble to tame one because prime and mutton don’t give much percent even for low levels. I would suggest getting around 10 kibble for a high level and just get it away from anything because these guys attack everything. After that use some gillie and wait until the gator opens his mouth and approach it near the neck, and feed the kibble. After you feed back away and watch it walk around until it lays down again. The great thing is these guys won’t loose there taming progress or effectiveness if they agro to you. Repeat these steps and you will have yourself one of the greatest all rounded dino’s on the island!

When you go up to feed it just look at its body or neck and spam the feed button
Listen up...
These guys are the absolute best mount for the island. There is almost nothing that can kill these things if you have high level. I take this guy around the map to water caves and for alpha tuso and mosasaur and they didn't stand a chance. I also recommend using extraordinary kibble for tame. You only need 2 or 3 for high levels and anything below like 65 only needs one 1. And remember this is a passive tame. You need to wait for it to fall asleep with its mouth open and you have like a 15 sec window to sneak in full ghilly and feed it. Make sure to have food in last slot.
Hope you like pls up this!!!
Put food in last slot and feed it after it opens its mouth and hisses. It’ll chomp down if you do it right, sometimes the prompt doesn’t work but you can still feed it. Then run away and wait about 30sec and try again. If your not dying your doing it right. Good luck

DO NOT USE COOKED LAMB CHOPS, it says it's better, and takes less, but that is a lie, I tried and it gave it like 0.7 taming per bite.
For those curious, yes you can drop deinosuchus in a pen and still passive tame it. I just tamed a level 140 this way in ASA, using a quetzal to airlift. Pen was 3x3 and 2 walls high (I switched the walls to single doorways, don't know if that mattered). About half its body will clip out of the pen, so you can access the head without going inside the pen.
It would hiss, open its mouth, and I'd come up near its head from the side to feed it quickly. Once you're close enough to the head look back towards its neck/body a little to see the Feed prompt. It chomps down when you feed it, then tries to chase you. Just step away from the pen and wait for it to settle down. Wait for it to hiss and open its mouth again. Rinse and repeat.
Only issue I had was the gator sat there completely motionless for several minutes until I went near her and got her to aggro and move around a bit.
Ever wonder why no one uses anything but superior kibble?
BECAUSE IT TAKES HUNDREDS OF FOOD TO TAME WITH EVERYTHING ELSE.

If you plan on breeding these make sure you have plenty of meat they eat like gigas
These things are ravenous! They eat a TON both when raising and sitting out as adults. Keep that in mind.
Hardly a challenge in a TEK suit. Feed it (while its jaws are open) and fly up in the air until it stops aggro on you and wait until it opens its mouth again..
Get a flyer(pteranodon is enough) and put meat in your last slot, and when it opens it's mouth while not attacking anything run to it and press E(you must be level 70 to tame it)
