Overview
The Kaprosuchus is a carnivorous water creature known for its ability to carry small creatures in its jaws. It excels at transporting lightweight survivors and creatures across rivers and lakes, making it ideal for aquatic exploration. It can airlift smaller mounts such as Achatina, Araneo, Archaeopteryx, and Armadoggo in its jaws for mobile support.
It can be carried by Tusoteuthis, allowing for deep-sea deployment and rapid transit in underwater environments.

More about taming the Kaprosuchus
Kaprosuchus must be knocked out before taming. Use a Chain Bola or trap it with a Bear Trap or Large Bear Trap to immobilize it. Tranquilizer Darts from a Crossbow or Longneck Rifle are effective for sedation.
Feed it Regular Kibble for the fastest taming. Raw Mutton also works well. The process takes about 13 minutes and requires no Narcotics. Use the calculator below for your settings.
