The R-Thylacoleo gives live birth after mating, skipping the egg-incubation step entirely.Gestation takes approximately 4 hours and 12 minutes at default rates.

Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~2 days (1x rate), progressing slowly.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.

The R-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 R-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.

The raising calculator above shows exactly how much food you need for each maturation phase of the R-Thylacoleo.Budget ~292 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.

Raising multiple R-Thylacoleo simultaneously?Set the dino count and the calculator scales food requirements automatically.Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.

The R-Thylacoleo, a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a common sight across multiple maps.It belongs to the Variant category.

Once tamed, the R-Thylacoleo fills a general-purpose role, adaptable to whatever your tribe currently needs.Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process.Defeating one in the wild grants 5 base XP.It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.5 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
