No you can't tame the alpha raptor
What you have to do is find the raptor you want bola it and hit with fist or bat until unconscious (not from the front he can still hit you) when unconscious feed 10-30 meat of any kind. And boom you will rule the island.
Raptors are one of the best early/midgame tames, because of their availability, easy taming, and balanced stats. Also their saddles are relatively easy to craft. To tame one just bola it and then club it on the head, just remember that they can still attack, and watch out for others
Easily killable wih a sword so keep that in mind :)

Don't mess with the alpha rapter
How to tame for beginners
Supplies; about 15 to 20 meat (you can also collect it wile ur looking), 3 bolas, a wood club, hatchet or better weapon, 5 narcotics (incase high lvl)
When to do it: peek of dawn or early in the day, don’t be caught out at night
Where to do it: in a openish field or beach, not in a jungle because it is way to dangerous
How to do it: set out on a relatively fast rider tame. Look first at beaches, mostly rivers and bays. When you spot a raptor don’t get off your tame, first decide if this is a safe spot to tame it. If you do decide yes, get close enough for the raptor to chase you but then bola it wile it is close. Then quickly get off your ride and club the side of the raptor. (You can also do tranqu arrows to the head but if low health not ideal) the feed meat, and narcotics as needed. If it breaks free you can try to knock it again or kill it with hatchet
BOOM u got a raptor

If you encounter one cut it off from the rest of the pack or kill all of the other raptors
To the person who said they saw a raptor singlehandedly take down a diplodocus, diplos don’t do any damage, only big knockback.
It only takes two tranq arrows to make it go sleepy night night.
There is never just one.........
If it's just one you can literally just throw a bola at it and then beat it to death with your bare hands
i was taming a raptor and a rex came and killed me so i thought he was dead and i forgot about him so one day i click ed request and found him alive and he was the stronges of my dinos
Pro tip on raising any child
They will have “wander” set automatically so set it off once you put it in a safe spot (e.g your base, animal pen, etc)
