each tamed dino has specific points in its wild stats, those stats points adds up to its level. When they are bred the baby has a 55% chance of getting the higher stat points from one of its parents, so the maximum level it could have is the total of the higher stat points from its parents.

On my server, I am using the Bitou2k's Binocular that shows the dino's wild stats points when aim at and pressing "n": https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1136125765

so am not sure if the regular tek binocular has the same function.

Theoretically it's just over a thousand. However the odds are probably better that you would win the lottery. What you want to look for is dinos with one or two very high stats and the rest meh. Breed that with another dino with different high stats and there's a chance the baby will inherit the high stats from each parent. If it does, its level will be higher than either parent. This doesn't count mutations, which can increase a stat/level in addition to what it gets from the parents. Basically, each stat a baby inherits is worth a certain number of points. Add all the points together and you get the baby's level. The higher the stat, the more points it's worth. - clear as mud?
Baby dinos are affected by their parents and can inherit the higher stats of either parent as stated above. Basically if you have parents with 20 points in HP and 30 points in HP, the baby can get either 20 or 30, it's all RNG, but i THINK the babies have a slightly higher chance of inheriting the better stat.

Mutations can also occur, causing the stats of the baby to be higher than either parent by up to 6 points, 2 points per mutation and a maximum of 3 new mutations at birth (IIRC). The wiki covers it in great detail with how to properly breed for mutations.

If you cross breed get mutations, if you have the time, you can get endless mutations (you can go above 20 if done right) Therefore there is no limit, until you hit the hard limits of 255 per stat

Any wild that has a base stat of 45 or above is a good base stock tho (except Tex dinos which have a higher max level)

255 is the maximum base points any dino can have in a stat (higher and it resets on restart), so theoretically you could breed level 1785 maximum (for dinos with 7 stats). At 5x difficulty (150 max wild level), you will be lucky to get a stat in the 60's. With breeding, you can technically get infinite points in mutations (keep cycling in a mutation free parent), so given enough time it is possible to reach the cap. Should you try for it? Probably not - there are better things to do with your life :)

Also, the baby inherits the stats the parents had at the moment they were tamed/born. Leveling up a dino or imprinting a baby has no effect on the stats its babies will have. That's why, if you are planning on doing a lot of breeding, it's important to note those stats before they change due to leveling or imprinting. I will actually name the dino with its stats so I can keep track of them. I've known people who have really complex spreadsheets to keep track of all of their breeding.

well at 150, that means a 224 perfect tame. 180wild teks...

I have bred lvl 262 velos with 0 mutations, simply stats taken from 4 different max 150s(224s).based on max stat of 47 that i have ever found i think its in theory possible to have a non mutated pure bred lvl 282. but this would take a lot of work, luck and time. add to that a reasonable 20 lvls of mutations and i think lvl 300 dinos for non teks, should be a reasonable lvl to reach.

i farmed argis like crazy an with max level 150 on my server i managed to get my perfect m and perfect f to 311 with total of 20 mutations per side that would be 80 additional levels + 73 level ups makes for a total max level of 464 i think i heard the max level cap on officals is 500 with mutations and level ups the reason my argis level is at 311 is that i also farmed some with food and oxy stats so all stats after taming are at +50 the best stat i got ist 56 in weight the worst is 49 in stamina the rest is at around 50-52 so the best you could get is 58 in every stat to cap at level 500 but getting even one is very unlikely i spawn around 2000 level 150 just to get to 311 with breeding
