Parasaurs on wild dino turret mode will alarm over otters. Super helpful when trying to find them in murky water! Just bring or tame a parasuar and then follow the little red circle.
Otter

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Otter in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If u want to tame it and don’t wanna put it in a trap worried that it will escape then pick it up with Petra and while carrying it the entire time feed it and it can’t escape
So hard to tame, they always run off or get killed by Puranas.
I’m going to try putting them on wander in a pen in the river. Wish me luck
Went to feed one on single player and as soon as I gave it fish it vanished from thin air!
He's a legend and our local babysitter. Sir Oily is a G.
Try to tame them in a water pen the dead fish often get in your way on land just make sure the otter is safe
You can use the radar ability of the Parasaur to find Otters in the water. They are marked with a red "enemy" ping. Just have to make sure, it is an Otter and not a Piranha
Don't worry for fellows (who at least have a flyer) are looking for a new Otter!
Need: fish meat, in Ark Mobile it's now fish meat instead of fish so to not be confused, stop holding the fish and just harvest it. Next, A Flyer that you can highlight the grabbed…

Need: fish meat, in Ark Mobile it's now fish meat instead of fish so to not be confused, stop holding the fish and just harvest it. Next, A Flyer that you can highlight the grabbed creature (show its name, level, taming effectiveness, etc), i.e Argentavis.
Tame: I highly recommend certain spots by the Dododex (no I'm not contacting you) community to find certain spots, now if you have a wild Otter in your grasp do NOT press any button except move and your hotbar, or else it will be over for the Otter, now wait for it to be hungry and then move your camera a little bit to find the spot where it is able to yellow highlight the Otter, then Feed. Repeat this for how many times you need to and you have an otter with nothing able to do anything to it (except you and your argy)
Have fun, there will be a continuation soon about uses in Utility!
CPG, starting anew, ish...
It’s the most god damn cutest thing on ark IM NOT AFRAID TO SAY IT!!,! I haz 50 of em!!! It’s a army I killed all of the piranhas in my world without losing any
Once if found one on the beach so I was like your so cute not to get there also really cool to have on wondering in your house
Get a preodactyal, fly over body off water, pick up otter, taming pen, BOOM
I reccomend taming it when you are a low level so you don't kill it.
They are found where rivers meet most if the time. Suggest either swimming to find them or use an owl to locate them easier
Why does it say that using tranq arrows is a 100 percent chance of death along with like everything else like so Dododex can see
When breeding, make sure to have a lot of fish meat prepared as they eat very quickly... also keep an eye on the food timer as they somes don’t eat for a seconds and make them serve...
Soooo Does anyone know we’re I can find a male otter??? I have a female otter soo umm I need a male….
Ya don’t want it to run away? ARK mobile players can use a pteranodon, or anything else that can carry the otter, to pick it up and bring it to an enclosed space in your base. There, you can feed it fish.
Use snow owl thermal ability to easily spot these little critters! Turned hours of searching in to minutes of searching!
Otters can gather raw mutton from dead ovis bodies (and are pretty effective at it too!)
