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 Lost Carnotaurus
After hatching or birth, the baby Lost Carnotaurus matures slowly, reaching adulthood in about 1 day and 22 hours at 1x maturation. The most labor-intensive part is the baby phase (0–10% maturation) when it can't use a Feeding Trough yet.
Offspring inherit parental stats and have a small chance to mutate, gaining +2 levels in a random stat. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.
The Lost Carnotaurus's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~278 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~19h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~23h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses. At 100% imprint, the Lost Carnotaurus gains 30% bonus damage and resistance when ridden by the imprinter. Keep various kibble types on hand, as imprint requests are randomized between cuddles, walks, and kibble feeding.
Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Lost Carnotaurus babies through all three growth stages. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~278 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.
The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Lost Carnotaurus raises by totaling food across all babies. Consider food spoilage when choosing what to feed: Kibble lasts days, while Raw Meat spoils in minutes.
Found throughout the ARKs, the Lost Carnotaurus is a carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Variant category.
With 100% base Melee Damage, the Lost Carnotaurus has decent hitting power. Starting at 420 Health, it's moderately tough. With 300 base Stamina, the Lost Carnotaurus has average stamina. A base Weight of 300 means a solid weight pool.
The Lost Carnotaurus roams the ARK as a wild, untamable creature. Defeating one in the wild grants 18 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.26 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
