Good for travel up and down cliffs or anything. Awesome tame. One of my favorites.
Thylacoleo
The Thylacoleo is a large, powerful mount that can climb up trees and pounce on its enemies.

What ARK players use the Thylacoleo for, and how to get the most out of it in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
They can run up redwood trees and cliffs by pressing the jump button while facing the cliff/tree. They can also climb down again, they can pounce and they barely take fall damage. They can only climb up and down though, not left or right.
A very good tame it’s fast great damage and fun to ride around in also great for cave exploration and surprising enemies in pvp

I hope this helps people!
Chicken, raccoon, and this tiger (redwoods)
These things are amazing for traversing scorched. You find them randomly around the map. Ive bred a few now. No regrets
There imposible to find on switch
Watch out when carrying these. I was knocked off my Argent in the middle if the ocean. They can run straight up red wood trees or mountains.
About 4 and a half hours gestation and baby time. Similar to sabers just a but longer
This dino is incredible for caving in every Scorched Earth cave and really good in most Island caves, highly recommend
They are one of five that you need
You can climb a wall and then dismount, making the Leo the most space efficient mount available. Also looks terrifying perched on your base walls.
This thing is very good for taking down strong dinos if you combine its force with a pack of direwolves. I rode on a level 40 thyla with 3 level 150 direwolves and we absolutely destroyed stuff on scorched earth. We could take down a rock golem easily because of the insane dps…

I would 100% recommend this for mid-late game.
I’d say you need 5 hatch speed and 6 mature speed to fully imprint then 0.1 cuddle timer I’ve imprint so many thylacoleos and Rex is doing these settings 50 % on gigas to I recommend these settings for boss fighting creatures
Great for farming angler gel. Some testing should be done
This Mammals could be so useful and fierce; especially when you are flying around redwood forest. You should be so aware flying between big trees (those ones that you cannot chop down) they are mostly climbed at the trees.
For taming, I strongly recommend to make a trap…

For taming, I strongly recommend to make a trap, otherwise he can bleed out you or/and your tame.
In addition, Thylas are so powerful against dinos which have a lot amount of Hp. Thanks to their bite and that ability (bleed) that deals damage percentage can easily kill a soaker.
In conclusion, I strongly recommend to tame a couple Thylas and imprint them.
Name idea: Shere Khan. (From Jungle Book)
One of the best creatures for cave raiding. Super helpful for the Death Island cave, if you fall without jumping they won’t take any damage
A decent level and you'll be able to kill almost anything. Level melee and you'll take down titanosaurs pretty quickly but apparently you won't receive any xp if it's the bleed effect that kills.
On Xbox to climb, hold the a button on a flat cliff like surface
You absolutely want to tame one climb through the caves!
