Very easy to tame. They are just a bit slower than a human so you could just walk back and tranq. Run away once in a while because it does catch up while you are walking. Once your mammoth of choice is knocked just run away for 10 seconds and the rest will lose aggro. Mine just took down a low level alpha Rex and took about 1000 damage after I put 250 armour hat. It's got a good health pool anyways. It's better than the beaver in that it can defend itself and my base, it can hold much more wood. It also collects berries extremely well. Thatch is also not a problem with this. And on mobile it's water spray can knockback even a rex incase I gotta bail... Did I mention that it's faster than a rex? Only thing is that it doesn't get as much wood but in the Arctic there's plenty of wood. Just spend a few more minutes collecting wood is the solution...
