Kaprosuchus Egg

An egg dropped by the Kaprosuchus

The Kaprosuchus Egg is found in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended, and the ARK Wiki says Kaprosuchus drop it at random. In the game it reads: "Tremendously nourishing by itself, this egg provides regular nutritional value in many cooking recipes." Survivors can eat it or turn it into Regular Kibble.

Regular Kibble from this egg

The wiki lists the creatures that kibble tames, among them the Ankylosaurus, Sabertooth, Stegosaurus, Pteranodon, Carnotaurus, Doedicurus and the Kaprosuchus itself. Any creature that eats Simple Kibble or Basic Kibble can be fed it as well.

Hatching a baby Kaprosuchus

An egg from two mated Kaprosuchus can hatch into a baby, and the wiki lists Fertilized Kaprosuchus Egg as a variant. The wiki gives a hatch time of 1h 59m 59.424s. The egg needs between 29 and 35 °C (84 to 95 °F) or it begins to lose health, and an Egg Incubator set to the best temperature shortens incubation by up to 20%. Females need from 18h to 2d before laying again.

Collecting eggs

Picking up an egg while wild Kaprosuchus are nearby makes them hostile. The wiki points to tamed Kaprosuchus instead: gathering eggs from them is faster and safer than heading into the swamps.

Weight, spoiling and maps

An egg weighs 7, and with stacks of 100 a full stack weighs 700. The ARK Wiki gives a spoil time of 28800 seconds. Our records place the egg on 8 maps, among them The Island, Scorched Earth, Lost Colony, The Center and Valguero.
