The raising calculator above shows exactly how much food you need for each maturation phase of the Carcharodontosaurus. Expect ~1464 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.
The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Carcharodontosaurus raises by totaling food across all babies. Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.

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.
After a successful mate, the Carcharodontosaurus lays a fertilized egg. Incubation temperature must stay between 37°C and 39°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 2 days and 1 hour.
Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~10 days and 3 hours (1x rate), progressing over many real-world days, demanding serious time investment. Hand-feeding is required until 10% maturation. After that, a Feeding Trough handles the rest.
Each baby inherits stats from both parents with a chance of mutation - +2 wild levels to a random stat plus a color change. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.
Maturation has three phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~1464 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~98h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~122h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Carcharodontosaurus gains 30% extra damage and damage resistance with its imprinter mounted. You'll be asked to cuddle, walk, or feed specific kibble at regular intervals during maturation.
The Carcharodontosaurus is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the DMG category.
At 70,000 base HP, the Carcharodontosaurus is extraordinarily tanky. Melee starts at 100% - respectable melee power that scales with level-ups. With 480 base Stamina, the Carcharodontosaurus has good endurance. It carries 650 base Weight - massive inventory space.
Once tamed, the Carcharodontosaurus pulls double duty as both a capable resource harvester and pack animal. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 37°C–39°C temperature window. A wild Carcharodontosaurus is worth 750 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.99 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
