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 Carcharodontosaurus
After a successful mate, the Carcharodontosaurus lays a fertilized egg. Incubation temperature must stay between 37°C and 39°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.
Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~10 days and 3 hours (1x rate), progressing over many real-world days, demanding serious time investment. 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.
Maturation has three 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.
Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Carcharodontosaurus gains 30% extra damage and damage resistance with its imprinter mounted. You'll be asked to cuddle, walk, or feed specific kibble at regular intervals during maturation.
The raising calculator above shows exactly how much food you need for each maturation phase of the Carcharodontosaurus. 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 Carcharodontosaurus raises by totaling food across all babies. Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.
The Carcharodontosaurus is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the DMG category.
At 70,000 base HP, the Carcharodontosaurus is extraordinarily tanky. Melee starts at 100% - respectable melee power that scales with level-ups. With 480 base Stamina, the Carcharodontosaurus has good endurance. It carries 650 base Weight - massive inventory space.
Once tamed, the Carcharodontosaurus pulls double duty as both a capable resource harvester and pack animal. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 37°C–39°C temperature window. A wild Carcharodontosaurus is worth 750 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.99 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
