My otter history

So when I first started ark I saw an otter in my small lagoon time to time and I thought it was just a group of otters, not a SINGULAR one popping up constantly. So I thought, so I can't tame this guy (I didn't realize you had to drag a fish corpse to it), I what kind of loot does this guy drop, so I. . . Well killed it (I AM SO SORRY LITTLE OTTER) and so once I realized it was just the one guy and how useful they actually are I felt really bad. A couple day later I found a otter right next to my base, so by then I realized I could tame it and how and I got an awesome shoulder pet. Almost immediately I wanted to go get some pearls so I went to the lagoon again and saw something on the other side, I didn't get a clear sight of it so I was going to investigate it after I get some pearls. I put my otter down and whistle attack on a fish, and so I turns out that the mysterious figure on the other side of the lagoon WAS A FREAKING BARYONYX, so when my little otter was in the middle of the lagoon it annihilated my poor defenseless otter while I tried to kill it with my crossbow. My otter. . . Sadly didn't make it, but SOME FREAKING HOW I SURVIVED. (P.S. I was a low level so all I had was my crossbow and my brand new pike on the island map) I now have firearms and electricity and haven't found and otter since.

R.I.P. my little otter friend.
