Thylacoleo Egg & Breeding Calculator
After hatching or birth, the baby Thylacoleo matures requiring significant patience, reaching adulthood in about 2 days at 1x maturation. Hand-feeding is required until 10% maturation. After that, a Feeding Trough handles the rest.
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 Thylacoleo's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~292 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~19h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~24h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Thylacoleo 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.

Planning a mass raise? The Thylacoleo raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. Expect ~292 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.
Adjust the dino count to calculate food for multiple Thylacoleo babies at once - essential for batch breeding operations. Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.

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.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Thylacoleo as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the DMG category.
Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it respectable melee power. The Thylacoleo has 700 base Health - quite durable. With 400 base Stamina, the Thylacoleo has solid stamina reserves. It carries 400 base Weight - a solid weight pool.
To tame the Thylacoleo, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Extraordinary Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
As a tame, the Thylacoleo is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. A wild Thylacoleo is worth 5 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.5 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
