Instead of laying eggs, the Brute Mammoth carries its young through a gestation period. Gestation takes approximately 8 hours at default rates.
The baby Brute Mammoth takes approximately 3 days and 10 hours to fully mature at default rates - over an extremely long period, one of the longest in the game. During the baby phase (0–10%), hand-feed it directly. From 10% onward (juvenile), it can eat from a Feeding Trough.
Mutations can add +2 levels to any stat and change colors. Stacking mutations across generations is the key to min-maxed breeding lines. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.
The Brute Mammoth's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~494 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~33h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~41h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Brute Mammoth 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 Brute Mammoth babies through all three growth stages. Budget ~494 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.
Adjust the dino count to calculate food for multiple Brute Mammoth babies at once - essential for batch breeding operations. 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.
Found throughout the ARKs, the Brute Mammoth is a herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended.
With 3,800 base Health, the Brute Mammoth is one of the toughest creatures in the game. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Brute Mammoth has decent hitting power. With 495 base Stamina, the Brute Mammoth has solid stamina reserves. A base Weight of 1000 means an enormous weight pool.
The Brute Mammoth roams the ARK as a wild, untamable creature. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. A wild Brute Mammoth is worth 18 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.62 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
