Wild babies

In  ARK: Survival Ascended, creatures can spawn in the wild as babies. Their stats and colors are usually an identical copy of their parent, with a tiny chance of a single mutation.

Behavior

Wild babies will follow their parent, they could freely move ~2 foundations around it, but if the parent moves farther than that the baby will move towards it.

If the parent or the baby itself is getting attacked the baby will stay with its parent and the parent will fight, even if the species commonly flee like  Parasaur or  Moschops. Once the parent is dead the baby will flee.

If the parent is knocked out the baby will stay near it, however if the parents got tamed by a tribe the baby start to flee from it.

Taming And Raising

Once Tamed, They will behave much like normal wild babies, requiring care and extra food as well as imprinting until adulthood. Checking the "Ancestry Tab" of the Dino will depict the parent of the baby, respective to the gender of the parent, with the other gender not being specified and given as a wild ancestor.

They can be claimed like a normal baby obtained through breeding or hatching, only if their parents are killed or tamed.

Notes

• Because sometimes is easier to kill a creature than to try to tame it, the babies will result a good alternative to tame certain creatures with difficult taming method like the  Troodon.
• The  Gigantoraptor is currently the only way to claim wild babies without "losing" the extra taming levels.
• Although in the ARK: Survival Ascended first trailer appears a wild  Argentavis with its babies it is actually not possible to found those babies in the wild.
