Kaprosuchus Egg & Breeding Calculator

Breeding the Kaprosuchus produces fertilized eggs that require careful temperature control. Incubation temperature must stay between 29°C and 35°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 1 hour and 59 minutes.

After hatching or birth, the baby Kaprosuchus matures over a lengthy period, reaching adulthood in about 1 day and 13 hours at 1x maturation. The most labor-intensive part is the baby phase (0–10% maturation) when it can't use a Feeding Trough yet.

Offspring inherit parental stats and have a small chance to mutate, gaining +2 levels in a random stat. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

The dino is inside an egg, needing specific conditions to incubate and hatch. The ideal temperature range is 29 - 35 °C.

The hatched dinosaur, now a baby, needs constant attention and food placed directly in its inventory to survive, or a nearby Maewing to take care of its needs.

Juvenile

10% - 50%

14:48:53

The dinosaur reaches the juvenile stage, where it can now eat from a feeding trough, reducing the need for direct feeding.

Adolescent

50% - 100%

18:31:06

The dinosaur reaches the adolescent stage, becoming more independent and able to follow you while continuing to grow toward full maturity.

The Kaprosuchus's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~222 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~15h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~19h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Kaprosuchus gains 30% extra damage and damage resistance with its imprinter mounted. Imprint requests include cuddling, walks, and specific kibble - check the wiki for which kibble to stockpile.

Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Kaprosuchus babies through all three growth stages. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~222 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.

The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Kaprosuchus raises by totaling food across all babies. Consider food spoilage when choosing what to feed: Kibble lasts days, while Raw Meat spoils in minutes.

During the Baby phase (0-10%), you must hand-feed or use a Maewing to nurse. From Juvenile (10%+), dinos can eat from a Feeding Trough on their own. Use Preserving Salt in troughs to double spoil times.

ARK: Survival Ascended features the Kaprosuchus as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It falls within the Water classification.

Health-wise, the Kaprosuchus sits at 200 base, making it on the squishy side. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it respectable melee power. Its base Stamina of 350 gives it solid stamina reserves. A base Weight of 140 means modest carrying capacity.

To tame the Kaprosuchus, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Regular Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.

As a tame, the Kaprosuchus is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 29°C–35°C temperature window. A wild Kaprosuchus is worth 5 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.4 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
