Thylacoleo — Detailed Guide
The Thylacoleo is a marsupial lion that climbs trees and redwood trunks and drops on its prey from above. Its pounce pins a target while it mauls it, which makes it one of the most dangerous ambush predators in ARK.
Where to find it
It lives in the redwood forests: The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Valguero and Genesis Part 1 in both games, Astraeos in ASA, and Crystal Isles, Lost Island and Fjordur in ASE. A few also appear on Scorched Earth and Extinction.
Taming
A knockout tame and a carnivore. Watch the trees above you while you look for one. Knock it out and feed it meat or carnivore kibble. In ASE its saddle unlocks at level 51. See the taming calculator.
Breeding
- Birth: a live birth, about 4 hours 11 minutes of gestation.
- Growth: a baby matures in about 2 days at 1x.
Uses
A climbing mount for forests and cliffs, and a strong fighter with a bleeding maul.
Tips
In a redwood forest, look up before you look around. A tamed one can also climb walls to reach high nests.
