Though I would not recommend traversing inland with these unless along a river for a quick getaway, Sarcos are really reliable mounts when travelling across the sea and rivers. Relatively slower on land, when you put these bad boys in water, they are giant toothed torpedoes. Their base stats are not bad and can be improved by adding a couple points first to health, melee and stamina. When you want to explore the island, add a few more points to movement speed and you'll have a mount that can kill and swim efficiently. Like in the dossier, these crocs are shark hunters, so don't be scared when encountering a Meg, you can easily diminish them but as long as you are constantly circling around them so they won't bite you. But I wouldn't fight anything other than that because the ocean is a dangerous place . And beware of jellyfish. Hate those buggers.I learned the hard way and lost my level 67 Sarco "Swampy". Overall my favourite Dinosaur in Ark Survival!

Once upon a time, my Sarco and I were hunting some Megalodons for fish meat, when a pack of Cnidaria stung the both of us, I tried to swim to the shore but it's too late. Mantas and Megs attacked me and my Sarco. My Sarco tried to fight back, biting his opponents. I swam back to the shore, and... My Sarco never came back. His dead corpse was a feast for Mantas and Megalodons. I hold my fists, my mind thirst for revenge. Rifle in hand, I swam back, shooting every Megalodon and Mantas I see. It was a bloodbath, bodies of Megalodon and Mantas floating in the ocean. I avenged his death… My Sarco…
Rain pours down to the land. He left his beloved wife and son.
One like = One Sarco lives.
TLC patch coming March 2018 adding "Deathroll" grab attack on small creatures and a grab attack (possibly thrash) on larger ones, gaining a 180 degree attack and a small lunge to its attack (maybe for deathroll purpose), will no longer aggo pirahnas and in the wild will sit with mouth gaped open awaiting prey.
