Tips & Strategies

When encountering stand at a higher ground than them
These guy are meant to jump straight not high
First, wait for it to carry you in its mouth then, start beating it with a club or shoot it with tranq arrows, make sure to give it some bio toxin or narco berrys
The best way to escape these crocodilians and counter them is to go to a high ground like hill or big rock i know it cause of my experience. The pounce of a kapro is in a straight line so if your in a high ground the pounce will just cancel giving you the time to escape.

They can’t get you on a stego so if you have a stego you are safe from these kidnappers.
Never bola this thing... I lost Blue (my frog). I miss you pal😭😭😭😭
THEY CAN GET YOU OFF YOUR MOUNT SO RUNNNNN
To find these new dinosaurs on scorched earth, go to water locations to find them.
If you fight with it it will jump on you if you tame it it will sleep on you
Can use grapple hook to get out of its mouth.
Fun fact: you can't bola a kaprosuchus
If you are a mobile player, although it might still be good on other devices, start breeding them! On mobile in my experience even a level 20 can do the same damage as a theri! It’s much easier to hatch them then tame them, especially with imprinting. They also have epic colour regions, and I got a cyan colour on its top half while I was playing on a server, this guy gave me a gc for it. (Golden collar) they are much better then raptors, although they are easier to tame in my opinion. If you play pvp, get a pack of 5+ and you could kill a Rex.
Swamps are crazy places to go, gotta be crazy to go there, but I did, wanted to find a Kappa to replace the one that got eating by a Thermo. Second time looking for one and finding only Sarcos so I decide to finally tame one, get one down and tame underway and a Baryonyx shows up, had only just been researching it the nigbt before as my next tame so tackle him get it down and tame underway, then a Kappa bowls me over, struggling now but finally get him down and tame. Walked out of the swamp with the three, that was enough for the morning.
One of the easiest ways I have found to tame these guys is to deliberately get snatched and then knock it out. I have seen tips that talk about using your fists or club, but you can also use tranq arrows just fine.
Do note that you need a decent amount of health and preferably chitin armour or up. Though at some point when the Kapro would 'run away', it will also stop damaging you while you remain in its mouth. Then you do what you gotta do, which is shove meat down it's toothy gob!
I ended up taming a level 100 Kapro on Crystal Isles. I was scouting with my level 230 (approximate) pteranodon — oddly enough, I found a lone one just off of the shore in the shoals biome (this area was a bit close to a swamp, so). They are very scary in the water, as they will leap right out of it in an attempt to attack you and your tame granted that you are close enough to the ocean’s surface. I led one onto the beach and was lucky enough to find a tall enough rock to land upon so that the aggravated creature couldn’t reach me. It took several tranq arrows to knock it out using a crossbow. After assuring that the area around me was clear and there weren’t any more threats, I had easily tamed it with a stack of raw meat and carefully led it back to my base. It was easier than I had expected to tame one, even as it was a high level. The advice I would give other players is that if you are going to lead one to a tall rock so you can tranquilize one without getting attacked, I’d still be careful to make the best judgement call with the rock and be 100% positive that it has no parts of it that the creature can pounce onto and find its way to you. By the way, I’m pretty new to Ark still, so my strategy may not be that professional — but I hope it helps other new players!
I was riding my thyla and it was level 666 and then this guy came and killer me and I lost him
