The mammoth already has a platform saddle in ark mobile but you have to buy the engram with real money. Click the up arrow if you want to help convince wildcard to add it into all versions of ark fully including ark mobile for free!!! Help start the petition revolution!!!!

As of early 2017, the mammoth now can carry wood at 12.5 weight per stack, which is now better than a beaver. Like so others may see

A mammoth can FLY. Quetzal + Mammoth can gather thousands of wood in minutes. Attack while a tribe/alliance mate flys you though an area with trees

It can spit water when submerged in a river/ocean and can remove paint from structures

Mammoth needs a platform saddle!

If you are on your own try shooting it with a trank arrow and let it follow you to a safe spot I.e your base so you can tame it safely and you are closer to all your stuff too.

So we have Manny and Diego now we need Sid.

If you see one near a body of water get a aquatic animal and start shooting it with tranq arrows/darts while your in the water stay away from the land or the mammoth will try to attack you if your not on land then it won’t noticeonce it’s knocked feed it

New Patch brings a buff to our favourite furry friend. Now Mammoth have a 75% weight reduction of all wood in it's inventory.

If taming, its easiest to either tame on outskirts like everyone else said or take a fast, leveled up dino with you for protection. I used my rex I tamed right before it and I had my argentavis to take him home. They keep up rather well unless you're going through a jungle. Shoot it in its trunk for easiest ko (I used darts. On a low level mammoth it can take 2 darts with the rifle to take em down easily)
