Just found 2 of them at South 1 at the bay ahead the Swamps.

Otters give you both hyperthermic AND hypothermic insulation-not everyone knows this. Also if you know where they spawn on lost island that would be great cuz I can't find them anywhere. You otter tame these dudes-best shoulder pet on the island by far.

Don’t have a gun pulled or anything while taming the otter:)

You can insulate eggs with Otters. Throw the egg(s) next to the otter, and it will start warming, or cooling the egg. I’ve tried it with Yuty, Bronto, and lystro eggs. This also woks with Dimetrodons.

2 tames make these super easy, a Parasaur and ichthyornis Strap a Parasaur to a raft in an otter spawn location and set it to "alert to creature" grab your friendly ichthyornis and have it carry back all the fish your new otter friend will ever need.

Found One!!! In the River Near Lower South Cave that leads to the Swamp, usually has a spino. Didn’t know they spawned there!! My Base is at lower south cave >:) I’ll be watching closely with my petra, abductees for my zoo !! xD

They can carry artefacts for you so you can grab 2

People that kill this extremely cute creature have been known to get death sentences.

if you need to hold an artifact put it inside of the otter inventory

(On mobile)Otters can be feed while from the back of an Arg.

1. Find it 2.grab it with a left thumb "up swipe" 3. Feed when hungry 4. Name your new otter friend. On console, grab otter in Arg. Follow steps.

Feed them fish and they will love you

Aside from being able to wear helmets and being cute, these guys are useful. You can set one or all on aggressive and or have other otters on attacking/attack your target and they will hunt fish. On aggressive they solely go after fish and nothing else unless accidentally hit, often they don't seem to leave bodies of water on aggressive. Otters have chance to gather a pearl when killing and gathering fish. When perched on your shoulder they act as a person's AC unit which is great for maps like Aberration and Fjordur.

Grab it in an argys mouth and land it on the beach and it can't run away then just feed it fish

FUN FACT! Did u know that otters are so cute and innocent in ark that,nothing attacks a wild otter? And even when an otter some how attacks a creature that fights back,THAT CRETURE WILL NOT FIGHT A WILD OTTER! The thing about tamed otters is that they have their player to protect them so?,

I can't find any otter in extinction pls help me

To tame one easy just grab it with argent’s beak and land next to a location full of saber tooth salmon. This trick allows you to feed it fish without the fish getting in the way of the tame. If your playing on Aberration or Genesis1 sorry about your luck lol.

You can find some of this on mobile near the south cave beach

All you need to do if your on consol and have an argie press right joystick and pick it with your birds mouth and you can feed it just like that

I found these guys almost impossible to tame on land since you automatically hold the fish in front of you, and it gets between you and the otter. However if you can swim with the otter it's a million times easier to feed it since you drag the fish behind you.

Generally a cute shoulder mount because of its looks and they're extremely useful because of their insulation ability and their fish harvesting ability another thing that makes them so useful is that they can hold artifacts
