You can tame creatures in several caves in Ark: Survival Evolved, including the Lower South Cave, Upper South Cave, Carnivorous Caverns, and Old Railway Cave, with some caves having restrictions on the size of dinosaurs that can fit inside. The Tek Cave also allows for taming, but with limitations on the size of the dinos that can enter, and the Overseer must be defeated in its arena to access the cave.
