Baby: 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.

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.
More about breeding the Giganotosaurus
Breeding the Giganotosaurus produces fertilized eggs that require careful temperature control. Incubation temperature must stay between 43°C and 44°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.
The baby Giganotosaurus takes approximately 10 days and 3 hours to fully mature at default rates - at a glacially slow pace - plan for a multi-day commitment. The most labor-intensive part is the baby phase (0–10% maturation) when it can't use a Feeding Trough yet.
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.
Raising a baby Giganotosaurus involves three maturation 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.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Giganotosaurus's stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it. Imprint requests include cuddling, walks, and specific kibble - check the wiki for which kibble to stockpile.
The raising calculator above shows exactly how much food you need for each maturation phase of the Giganotosaurus. 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 Giganotosaurus raises by totaling food across all babies. Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.
The Giganotosaurus, a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a common sight across multiple maps. It falls within the DMG classification.
With 100% base Melee Damage, the Giganotosaurus has decent hitting power. With 80,000 base Health, the Giganotosaurus is extraordinarily tanky. With 400 base Stamina, the Giganotosaurus has respectable staying power. It carries 700 base Weight - excellent carrying capacity.
Taming the Giganotosaurus requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor. For best results, use Exceptional Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.
Once tamed, the Giganotosaurus is a practical workhorse - it can both gather and haul resources efficiently. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 43°C and 44°C. Killing a wild Giganotosaurus yields 200 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.99 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
