This is the Thylacoleo in ARK: Survival Evolved
Appearance: The physique of the Thylacoleo shows that it is a large wild cat resembling tigers or panthers.
Wild: The Thylacoleo is an aggressive bobcat that will attack anything in its attack radius. With its ability to climb anything with an angle greater than 90°, the Thylacoleo can also drop you off your mount in the air while traveling on a flying mount, for example in Redwood Forest.
Domesticated: If you’ve tamed a Thylacoleo, you can use the ability we mentioned earlier to sneak up on enemies or creatures. Also, the Thylacoleo is quite a strong mount, which shows its prowess, especially in combat.

How to tame the Thylacoleo in ARK
How to hunt a Thylacoleo: If you see a Thylacoleo you’d like to tame, set up some bear traps and get into its line of sight. Get as close as you can or hit him so he wants to attack you. Lure him into the bear trap and shoot him unconscious once he’s immobilized.
Since Thylacoleo can only climb walls or trees that have an angle of 90° or more, you can also shoot him unconscious from a cliff or steep ledge.
How to tame it: Once he’s unconscious, place the kibble or meat in his inventory and wait for him to eat it. To keep the stun level up, use narcotics or narcoberries.

How to Breed Thylacoleo in ARK
This is how the brood is prepared: If you have a male and a female specimen, you build an enclosure that is large enough. Place both dinosaurs on the pen and set them to “roam” via the command menu. Alternatively, you can directly switch to “Match”, but there must always be a player nearby; otherwise, the match will stop due to rendering.
The reproductive interval of a Thylacoleo is from 18 to 48 hours.
After a successful mating, the female Thylacoleo will be pregnant for about 4 hours if you play on standard settings. After these 4 hours, you can welcome the little baby Thylacoleo into the world. As a baby, she needs another 5 hours of your attention, during which you must keep putting food into her inventory. Pay attention to printing intervals every 8 hours to get the best statistics for the baby.
Once it reaches the juvenile stage, it can feed from feeders. The total maturation time is about 2 days and 1 hour.
