How are wild baby dinos useful?

[donnylicious]

Are they purely for "immersion" or do they serve a purpose? Can we raise them for our own? Any ideas?

kill parent or tame parent and you can claim the baby or simply kill them for lots of prime meat.

As Cotaks stated, if you kill the parent or tame them you can then imprint on the baby and raise it just like if you bred it yourself. It's a fairly easy way to get a tame without using narcotics and tranq arrows and traps. Kill the parent and then imprint the baby.

Besides, it does add a lot of atmoshphere. I like seeing the babies.

I dig it, got me two parasaurs slaves after murdering their mother and siblings. A real feel good moment in the history of caveman.

You get prime meat for being a baby killer which is ridiculously easy prime.

You can imprint baby/young dinos and they mature at super speed (at least in SP) so it's like a low hassle breeding.

Also, Argis can carry Babys of the big Dinos.... ^^

They can give you quite the advantage if you get lucky. I killed a low level Carno early on and claimed its baby which grew up within 2 mins and has been a decent bodyguard since then. Sadly some dinosaurs you'd expect to have babies never spawn with them like the Ankylosaurus.

Adult and baby/babies spawn at same level.
If you tame both, the adult will get bonus levels based on taming effectiveness, the baby will get no extra levels.
However, to tame the baby, you press "E" one time after the parent is dead, where the parent may take some considerable effort to tame.
The raised baby will be somewhat weaker than the tamed adult, but it may suit you especially early game, ever tried to tame a doedi early, and they ball up and you run out of tranq arrows?
Or perhaps you see a rex with 2 babies, follow for a bit, it'll die eventually, swoop in tame the babies give em some meat and get out of there, if they die, you lose some meat, if they don't you have 2 rexs.

Choices, it's an alternative to taming normally, you'll never get the best possible creature from any wild baby, but it can be easier and safer to get "a" creature of that type.

Why did post this off-topic nonsense here?

Imo they need to disable the prime meat collection from baby Dino’s or at least wild ones prime is way to easy to get now

Still trying to figure out what triggers the babies getting bonus levels.

I've seen it's supposed to only trigger if you tame the parents? I havent tested it much yet because most baby dinos are lower than 100, which is quite useless to us.

[Doc Smith]

Why ask this question? Try playing a little and you can figure out the obvious.

I know that sometimes the wild babies can have bonus levels due to mutations. Maybe that is what you are seeing?

[Cryptix]

You can imprint them, though for me they always grow up too fast.
