This used to be my favorite creature even during the old mobile. I remember I was a noob and my cousin who taught me ark got frustrated that I would play 10 minutes a day but never progressed because of raptors and argys, so he made me watch a top 10 best tames by axeman and I saw something climb a tree. I stayed the entire video to watch what that creature was and it was number 1 on his list it was the thyla. Even though on old mobile I used many op creatures like the giga, rexes, quetz, spinos, and griffins I always said my favorite creature was the thyla. Even though I never used it. Just yesterday I went on my rhynio on the new mobile and found a max level. I tamed it and it became my favorite creature once again.

when taming a thyla put a line of large bear traps, get the thyla agro'd on you, and try an get it stuck in one. then shoot it stood along the line, so when it frees itself it'll run towards you, also stepping on the bear trap

agro'd - tryinig to attack you

thyla - thylacoleo

hope this helps

A good way I found to find these is to go to the redwoods riding a parasaur and walk into the forest spamming the parasaur’s ability. It will alert you to a thylacoleo in a tree if there is one, just make sure to look up at the trees near you if it finds enemies. Also would recommend bring a dino or two to protect you and your parasaur. Just signal them to passive when you find your thylacoleo. Hope this helps.

I'm a perfectionist so I never end up taming one of these with cooked prime meat or lamb chops for like 70% taming effectiveness (they prefer cooked meat to raw meat) but also getting exceptional kibble is such a drag even though it's absolutely worth it.

In summary if you aren't too lazy get exceptional kibble and breed these, an imprinted one is the mount you'll use 90% of the time

Today I was just chilling looking for something that could help me beat the manticore and I literally saw a white thyla and I was so lucky that it was trapped in one of the rib cage structures then I got like my club and I smacked it in the face then it went down I gave it raw meat but then I noticed it it cooked meat then I gave it cooked meat and it was almost waking up so I force feed it nicroberries then I finally tamed it you can also try using doorways stone doorways (I think) or you could use normal structures that the game generates

So I just took my pteranodon on a trip around the island and went to the redwoods for funzies and didn’t see a single one of these dudes (granted I flew high just in case and was being paranoid) but uh, props to me (please note that I did a ton of research before flying and that this was my first time lol)

Thylas are really hard to tame and they prefer cooked stuff insted of raw if you use cooked prime meat thylas can still take over 150-300 bio toxins depending on level I recomand you guys building a spike wall around it after knocking it so it dosent get ambushed and keep checking the torpor to make sure you don’t over hit it
