Deinosuchus
To tame a Deinosuchus, wait for it to open its mouth while basking. Carefully approach from the front and place food directly into its open jaws. If it closes its mouth or you approach from the wrong angle, it will attack. Repeat the feeding process until tamed.
Estimated time until optimal feeding point:
Food to consume through starvation: 0
