Encountering Tips

How do I kill a kaprosuchus? kaprosuchus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
decided to fly low in a swamp with my argie, a kapro jumped and kidnapped me off my argie. I live to tell my story, they do not have candy, don’t trust them.
Ever seen a frail old lady in the supermarket get randomly dump-tackled while she was browsing the clementines?
Well guess what, if you go to the swamp, you're going to be the old lady.
Me and my 146 Gigga took out 10 of tgese while i tranked 4 killed a bunch of sarcos and now i have tamed them. Really good for movement especially the jump but absaloutely terrible weight.
When you think of grinding genesis drops you think about getting an egg incubator or a cryofridge but when your inventory full and you have op items that you collected one of these will latch onto you and 21 of his cousins will no joke hit you harder than will smith and you die and you can’t get to your body bc these things are camping it and when the stuff despawns they go away- Average Genesis Grinder who mains on a small tribes server
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.

uncariable by argy huh yeah argy or quetz and wyvern can carry it
If you run across one and it happens to leap at you, bite you, and start to carry you away throw a bola at it and it will let you go.
Probably one of the most surprising attackers in the game, a Kapro has to fly at your face and Inject it’s stamina depleting poison(I am not completely sure if this is a mobile thing), however, if you have a strong melee weapon on you, you can quickly escape via killing it and sprint onto your mount or raft if you brought one for the journey.
This guy is my favourite so far, right from when I first meet him, I was a noob and wandered close to a swamp well he came flying at me missed and disappeared behind me, I'm like what the neck was that, climbed a big arse rock asap and looked around, bugger came bounding back towards me and leapt straight up that rock like it was a mole hill.
Tamed the bugger and took him hunting, came across my first raptor and shat myself thinking oh rap I am screwed, nope Kappa flys over my head, collects the raptor and pile drives it into the ground several meters away, hilarious. Always fun times with Kappa around.
For all the noobs out there, if these things kidnap you in the swamp, here’s what to do. Take out your bow/ gun. Pray you have ammo and fire right into its head. This strategy has saved me countless times.
P.S. If you have a strong melee weapon such as a pike or sword on you, that also works.
Real men tackle the Kaprosuchus
I shit myself a little the first time one jumped at me, not gonna lie
Hippity hoppity you are my property
Can use grapple hook to get out of its mouth.
They can’t get you on a stego so if you have a stego you are safe from these kidnappers.
All I have to say is… don’t fly over the swamp with your fav high lvl argy😩😩😩😭😭😭
Run away you will die...
Don't put these guys off as weaklings. They will ruin your day. If you get grabbed by on quickly kill it before it kills you and your mount. They are very frail so it isn't too bad if you act quickly.
Why is this things icon purple, I have literalky never seen a purple one, plus dont think these things are easier than sarcos, THEY DEFINETLY ARENT
If you're not careful this creature will give you the kaprosucccccccc
