They have big teeth.

I recommend using tranq arrows to knock yourself and don't aim for the head or else you will might kill it if it's a very low level be careful for wolves too

Easily knocked out when you use a bloa. When stuck shoot in head while you can and itll go down quickly. Tranq darts make the process quicker, but arrows will do the job just fine. They can be picked up and dropped into safe taming cages by argies to make this easy tame all the more easy.

If you are shooting it with tranq arrows or darts, make sure you wait a couple seconds after each shot or else it will die. I lost a level 120 not doing this

If there are sabertooth attacking other dinos wait for him/her to kill them and distract him far away from predators i had to distract mine away from 3 allosaurus
