Easiest one I know that drops prime is stego easy to kill gives some prime
Baby dodos give prime meat. Not very much, but they’re so easy to breed/hatch/get that it’s more worth it than a t-rex. I recommend incubating the eggs until they’re a few seconds to hatching, bringing to an unconscious predator, hatching them, and then feeding them to the predator. If you can bring yourself to kill baby dodos it’s a great strategy. Up so more people see.
How to tame basically any carnivore with raw prime meat:
Get some female rexes and a male rex. Get them to lay fertilised eggs. Incubate the eggs until they are a few seconds from hatching and pick them up. Knock out what you want to tame and starve it for the amount of time indicated on Dododex (note: if you’re taming royal griffins on mobile, you’ll need to starve it for ~60% more time than what Dododex says). Then, put down a bunch of standing torches, light them, throw down your eggs, and hatch the baby Rexes. Kill the babies and harvest their bodies with a good carnivore or good pickaxe. Finally, transfer all the raw prime meat to the knocked out dino’s inventory and it should instantly tame. The nice thing about this is that your new carnivorous friend was sleeping so it won’t know that you just murdered some babies and won’t think you’re a monster, and the female Rexes won’t see you killing their children, so you can just tell them their children died of “natural causes”.
Killing babies gives tons of prime but very brutal
I have just learned that beelzebufo (frogs) extend the spoil timer of these by a lot. Not as much as the preserving bin but a 2:30 in my inventory is 10 in his, and no fuel.
If you want a good amount of prime meat in a safe area on Fjordur simply go to VardiLand North- North then fly over to the edge of that ice on the right side and you will see a bunch of penguins! Just kill the baby's with a chainsaw and cut them up with the chainsaw and boom some good prime meat without the risk! Up so other scardy cats like me can see. x3

If your new to Ark, i highly recommend killing paracers, they give around 20+ prime meat with a good tame/mount. They still give quite a bit of prime meat with a metal pickaxe. If you dont have a good mount to kill a paracer yet, i recommend you tame a iguanodon, iguanodons have infinite stamina and when i had one it was weirdly strong…. So yeah, paracers are the way to go. You can find them in the swamp, or if you use your map a little below the middle of the map. Hope this helped! :D
Listen mobile players if u want to get raw prime meat go the the mountains and kill Argentavis it the best way and harvest with a metal pick
Just lettin' ya know it spoils in 30 secs
Go to carno Island with a decent level spino and have some fun
On mobile. For beginners, Titanoboas are probably the easiest way to get prime meat. They have a 3× Ranged Damage multiplier on their head so just back away from them while repeated shooting with a bow. On the other hand there are a ton of dangerous predators where the boas normally live so bring some dinos with u. (Dilos are a good choice)
Or perhaps, u would find the next choice much more favorable...
For a less aggressive, but arguably much stronger prey, Paraceratherium is the one that I personally find to be the best meat-giver. Where u would get, say, 7 prime from a diplo (also a great source for beginners becuz of they never harm u directly, only pushy and shovey) u would get double that amount from a paracer. As soon as u have a pair of high level, mate boosted dilos, u can try this method. Whistle attack on a low level paracer and support ur dilos with a bow. Let ur dilos harvest the body for u if u don't have metal tools yet. Quick and easy with only minimal risk of losing ur life or ur tames.
Baby parasaur give arond 20-45 prime meat hope tis helps you
Guys- all those tips about, “hey, make a Rex farm to get easy prime meat” is relatively useless- people came here to learn how to get the Rexes in the first place. If anyone has any other tips (not commit mass murder on every diplo in a 7 mile radius) I think it would be helpful to post it
When babies (dinosaur babies) are dead they also give raw prime meat
If ur looking for less brutal methods aka killing babies just kill stegos diplos paraceratheriums or argents
I haven’t played ark for to long so I don’t know if this too is too good but I just put a lot of Prime meat harvesting on my moschops and I got like 20 prime meat from one level 18 titanoboa
When prime is needed be sure to put it in a fast flyer so that it is not gonna spoil when needed to tame
Go to herb island, make a bunch of spike walls, put a dill or any other weak creamer on wander, and watch all the stegos, trikes, brontosaurus, all those guys kil themselves.
