Easy tame. One time I joined a new server and there was an abandoned thatch base shaped like this |___

It had door frames all around but anyways I saw a sarco and punched it. Then I lead it to the thatch thing and when it was following me I ran through the doorframe. Then I started nailing him in the forehead with my fists (I was lvl 3 or 4). I knocked him out and just starved him and shoved some raw meat up his butt and he loved me. Only thing that was a bit concerning was the torpor if you just started. But anyways I hope this was helpful.
