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

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.

Mammoth needs a platform saddle!

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

So we have Manny and Diego now we need Sid.

They can be found around the mountains in the winter biome if you are looking for them to kill or tame

Very good for gathering wood, and can carry a lot

Can be found in the snow biome, be careful for other dino's though, snow biome is a dangerous place.

Go into the winter biome and they can mainly be found around the mountains

The mammoth is now usable with its 75% weight reduction so now they are a very good competitor to the giant beaver!!

Make excellent battle dinos. Very large AOE attack and can withstand alot of damage.

On the raft build a 3x3 foundation with 3 walls high and a ramp going up into the raft. Go to the winter area youll find Mammoths there. Get it into the raft. Once in the raft shoot it with tranq arrows. Starve it and then feed. Kibble is 80times its food.

The numbers are wrong on how much kibble it will take. Bring extra

The knock back allows it to kill Alpha Raptors and Carnos.

They are slow and have a small agro radius slowing for a quick get away(assuming that you haven't lost all your stamina

Build a raft with about 9 or so foundations/ ceiling and put Walls on the perimeter and ramps in the front and put large storage boxes along the walls and go to the swamp with a buddy and just sit on the mammoth on the front of the raft and swing away. Best wood/thatch/shroom farm ever

If u find them on the border of the snow on the west carefull as loads of rexes and raptors and other fatal mobs spawn there

For wood, put on raft with large flat deck. You and your buddy drive through the swamp, swinging away. Raft has no weight restrictions. ENDLESS wood, thatch and mushrooms. Careful not to push off, go slow. It adds up fast, regularly took home 10,000+lbs of materials.

As to a posed of the Giant Beaver, this creature has a bonus where wood is x0.25 it's normal weight, combined with its large carry weight it's the best option for gathering wood. Ps: Giant beaver ' s mod. is x0.5!
