Here is how to claim Wild Baby Dinosaurs in Ark: Survival Ascended.
Ark: Survival Ascended feels like a re-release of the original Ark, but on Unreal Engine 5, there are a ton of graphical updates and UI changes. Devs tried to put all the shortcomings of the original Ark that the developers learned over time into this game.
One of the new features they added is that now, instead of breading dinosaurs, which is a pretty long process, you can tame baby dinosaurs and claim them. This feature may save you a lot of time and bring a new addition to the gameplay.
But finding baby dinosaurs and taming them can seem pretty confusing. This guide will show you how to find and claim these lovely little wild baby dinosaurs.

Spotting the Wild Baby Dinosaurs
When you are free roaming in your early game, you will realize not all creatures in the Ark world spawn with babies. But since baby dinosaurs are available, you can look for them. There are no specific locations to find them, so you just have to leave it to your luck. But here is a quick tip for finding babies: Usually, the babies would follow the mother dinosaurs. So, if you see a group of big dinosaurs, the chance is you will find baby dinosaurs in the group.
Claiming the Wild Baby Dinosaurs
As the baby dinosaur will be with its mother, you have to take care of the mother first. Without taming or killing the mother, you won’t have the option to claim the baby. You can tame the mother and claim the baby, but it will take more time, and the baby can simply run away. So, the practical way would be to kill the mother dinosaur first.
Once you have killed the parent, you will able to go and approach the baby. You will see that it has an option to imprint on it. It would be wise to put food in the baby dinosaur’s inventory so as to make sure not to starve it to death. Baby dinosaurs are very slow walkers, so if you want to save time on a long trip, make sure to have some arrangements to pick it up and return to your base.
