When you think you see one stay back away. Use a spyglass to make sure it isn’t a sarco
Kaprosuchus
The Kaprosuchus is a crocodile-like reptile commonly found around swamps. Though it is a smaller, weaker version of the Sarco, some survivors perfer it for its speed — both on land and in water.

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Kaprosuchus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Don’t get too close or they will grab you
I got a beautiful pink and green one and named him Watermelon. He’s amazing and one of my favorite tames :D
The dossier says that they bite u in ur vital areas for u to lose stamina
pedos...
These guys are ANNOYING as they killed half of my dinos when I had first time in the swamp. Also I tamed one WITHOUT a bola(I set my strong dinos to passive and let it attack my brontos-it does like no damage-and I tranqd it out.)it got killed by a rexy even though I had a…
These guys are ANNOYING as they killed half of my dinos when I had first time in the swamp. Also I tamed one WITHOUT a bola(I set my strong dinos to passive and let it attack my brontos-it does like no damage-and I tranqd it out.)it got killed by a rexy even though I had a SPINOSAURUS and 2 LVL 20 BRONTOS! They can also carry you in their mouths
They can jump on really long distances and make a lot of damage and they are pretty easy To tame
Paint it black and name it sarco to trick people
How to tame
Step 1 get 2 bear traps
Step 2 lure the Kaprosuchus into the bear trap (you want 2 bear traps just in case the bear trap expires)
Step 3 feed meat
Note: Kaprosuchus is not a very good tame at a low level (I would recommend going for a lvl 50 or higher)
I managed to find a kapro it grabbed me and with only three points in to melee damage I nocked it uncontious with my fists and tamed it
I've seen a purple kapro like the icon before in mobile, though probably won't normally see one like it on pc or other platform.
Run just run they will tip you to pieces
Please NEVER go near the swamps if unprepared YOU WILL DIE you'll will be around 5 seconds in and your in this guys jaws
This thing all tho cute and happy. Don’t use them for getting oil a lvl 420 megalodon will end both your lives!!!!!!
Watch out tot them, even when you are at endgame: they shred through ascendant TEK armour like it's nothing!
If you shoot it through a window it will garb you and pull you through the window.they are pain in the asses
This Dino is often underestimated, yes they’re somewhat weak but in the early stage of the game they can destroy you, their grab attack is VERY useful for killing smaller predators, and for pvp. I suggest taking one if you’re into pvp, make sure to dump a load of points…

I suggest taking one if you’re into pvp, make sure to dump a load of points into health and damage, their weight is decent so don’t worry about it
You’ll need a Kaprosuchus on The Island, Valguero, and Fjordur because these maps have swamp caves which the Kaprosuchus is the best mount for those swamp caves but they’re a good tame for every map they spawn on
Ez tames.Step one:wait for Kapro to grab you
Step 2:punch it or club to knock out
Step 3:Shove prime and reg meat up its butt
Step 4:name it
Step 5: Get saddle
Step 6: enjoy your sarco with a megalo’s mouth
What I don’t understand is how a Overweight croc is the bane of our swampy existence
Don't fly near the swamp, AT ALL. I almost lost my triple mutated deinonychus but luckily my Tapejara is fast af. Kapro knocked me off my mount and killed me, but my lvl 401 Deinonychus killed it right as I died, came back and saw it almost dying to a group of high level…
