Be sure to stay away from water in genesis or you’ll be in for ALOT of rage.
I speak from experience…
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.
Best way to tame is to get a club, then you go plop down in the swamp you have to make sure there are no titanboas nearby. Also you have to level up heath and melee damage(melee just a little bit). Wait for a Kapro to grab you in its jaws. Once it has you it can’t let go. So just bash it in the head with your club. I tamed a level 79 this way. I had around 300 health and 130% melee damage.
On ark mobile they are affected by bolas

We regret to inform you that they do not come in purple.
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.
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 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 out to tame a raptor when suddenly a Kaprosuchus just jumps out of the water!
I forgot to switch my tranq with a normal arrow an accidentally knocked it out then i just tamed it and being attacked by Titanobas! Swamps are scary......
These guys are perfect for traveling around the map, you can jump off a cliff and not die with their leap attack. I have a level 8 I believe and have explored very far from my base, came back with a crap load of electronics and stuff from tek parasaurs I killed. Very useful and would recommend. To tame you just need to keep your distance from it and avoid its leap attack as best as you can, they don't run that fast so just shoot it with some tranq arrows till it's knocked out. ^so people see
Me: is within a 6 mile radius of a swamp
Kapro: Bonjour
Don’t let them die because their good for travelling by jumping
If your on the island go to the east side of the map. Go to the edge of the swamp and make a trap, even a two by two thatch one will work. Put door frames on the edges of the foundations, then finally a ramp for it to walk up on. You can also use this as a safety area to knock it out from.
Hippity hoppity you are my property
When encountering stand at a higher ground than them
These guy are meant to jump straight not high
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.
Run away you will die...
