Once you have a sword the swamp is your playground trust me I’ve killed almost everything that lives there.
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.
Such annoying creatures don’t trust them….
When they leap at you it's hard to see where they go, I recommend finding a corner and staying there until it leaps then bola and either kill or knockout. This always works for me when I'm trying to tame one but another tip, just stay out the swamps
Get a friend or tribe member to catch and hold it with a argy above your base or pen and trank dart it or trank arrows
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!
Traveled on a raft all the way to Carno island for my first Argy (I know there are other spots but I had no luck with spawns). Finally secured a solid bird and a Kapro YEETED him off my raft on the way back… poor guy never stood a chance.
Learned my lesson and found out…

Learned my lesson and found out the wooden spikes prevent this on a raft, as a failed attempt was made by probably the same hungry Kapro. Just sharing since the spike trick might be useful to some!
I was riding my thyla and it was level 666 and then this guy came and killer me and I lost him
1 up = prayer
When u tame one upgrade ur oxygen and make a saddle. U can take people off of there tames and drag them under water and drown them.
If you're somewhere in mid game and have unlocked the bear trap, use it on one of these buggers. Then, either kill 'em or tranq 'em. Your choice.
Good for killing noobs there jaws don’t let go pvp sever join me at dodo modile sever
You can throw people off there mount and then kill the mount

They aren’t very fast sprinting but their leap ability makes them super fast
Second best for swimming! (A close call with cast) They can swim underwater pretty smoothly, and can swim on the water to let you get some air. Or, take a diplocaulus and breathe as you need! (You’ll see what I’m talking about) To see the best swimmer, see the Casteroids.…

(You’ll see what I’m talking about) To see the best swimmer, see the Casteroids. For third best, see Kaprosuchus. Warning! This creature cannot hold passengers.
This was funny story and I lived to tell it I flyer low with pteranodon because I use my argy a lot and got jumped by one because I flew low kapros do have candy but it’s hard candy if your flying low to swamp your gonna get kidnapped like when Godzilla murdered 3 of his…

Be careful around them kapros I was a noob and I went to the swamp because I wanted to tame some beelzebufo (frogs) and I saw a kaprosuches and from like 20 feet away he lunged at me and grabbed me then started to crush me and thus I died they're crazy but also awesome
To tame simply just throw a bola at him and load him up with tranq arrows. But beware because if you give him the chance he will grab you od whatever your on and kill you so prepare for that.
Be sure to stay away from water in genesis or you’ll be in for ALOT of rage.
I speak from experience…
Here's the best tip to tame this on ark mobile
1. Go to a swamp that has a clip
2.shoot the kapro
3.shoot until it knocks out
4.feed it raw meat or raw prime meat
If your being chased by one of these I suggest running onto a kind of high rock and take out a throwable weapon and just fire away at its HP this works for me a lot but not always
Watch out for these guys I had my direwolf on a raft and a swarm of them went for my direwolf I never saw him again.
