Otters are wonderful companions, whether holding artifacts for you, or regulating your temperature, so here’s a guide to help you tame one.

1. Otters are found in most of the rivers on the island, so I recommend just following rivers until you spot one. Sometimes they can blend in with the fish, so take it slow, so you don’t miss one.

2. When you find one, it can be useful to trap it, because they tend to move around a LOT. Either way, you need to kill fish to feed it. The fish have a number next to their name like 1x or 2.3x or .5x. This correlates with the size of it, the higher the number, the bigger the fish. The highest number or biggest fish gives the most taming progress, so go for those. In addition, the type of fish matters. Sabertooth salmon give more progress than coelacanth which is better than piranha.

3. Once you kill the fish, you need to drag it. Then go to the otter. While holding the dead fish and looking at the otter, it will let you feed it to the otter. Repeat this until the tame is finished

Happy taming!

If this helped, please hit the upwards triangle, so more people can see

Use a Pteranodon and grab it on water. YES! YES YOU CAN GRAB OTTERS ON WATER USING PTERA AND PLACE OTTER ON A 1x1 THACH WALL THEN FEED WITH FISH LIKE SO EVERYONE CAN SEE

On mobile u feed them raw fish meat!!!!!!! Pls ^ if helpful and so more mobile player can see

These guys are a passive tame. You have to kill a fish then drag its body to the otter and press the 'feed fish' key. The easiest way to do this is with an argent. With your tertiary attack you can pick the otter up in your beak and it will stay there even when you land. Simply fly to a spot near fish and feed the otter while it's in the argent's beak. If you don't see the prompt to feed right away, drop the fish then pick it back up.

For new mobile edition you still need to feed it raw fish meat (prime is better) to tame by placing it in the last slot of your tool bar and walking over to the otter. Once you get close enough and see the message “drag a fish to feed” click on the fish meat in your tool bar to feed.

With the new version however this won’t tell you when the otter is hungry again, unless you actually drag a fish with you while doing this. You won’t be feeding the otter the dead fish, still the food in your inventory, but this will show the “wait till hungry again” message until it is hungry. dragging a dead fish isn’t necessary, the feed timers stated here still appear to be accurate for its feeding intervals, so I just pay attention to time rather than trying to swim around while dragging a fish. Remember the first feeding interval is longer!

I almost had my otter die while clapping a bronto with a shotgun because he only eats fish

1 yes = 1 more otters in ARK 2

Just feed it fish on mobile. I have four words words Belle otter allo pack one like for one ancient amber for her

These little guys are so much easier to tame in mobile, but harder to find. You still need to kill a megipirahna, but you don’t need to grab its corpse to feed the otter. After harvesting its meat you can easily walk up to it and feed it until it’s tamed. It doesn’t run away in mobile, and I’m sure you can use any fish meat.

“ On The Island, going along the Redwoods and Swamp edge on the west side, you'll reach a sort of deep pool where the swamp ends. There's always at least two otters there..”

Whoever said this, a big thanks to you, sir! It really helped out a lot, even in Ark Ultimate Mobile Edition.

1. (Lat. 63, Lon. 27) is the more exact location for anyone who wants to find your otter more easily.

2. Raptors, Carnos, and sometimes even Rhyniognatha can spawn around that area, so if you're not feeling lucky, take your fastest Pteranodon and fly the otter to a safe place near water.

3. When taming these cute creatures in Ark Ultimate, you don’t need to crouch or hide from their view range. However, the strange part is that you do need to drag a dead fish to it first, then feed it by tapping your last hotkey (where you’re supposed to put the fish meat).

4. Besides of two otters, I also found two tiny poop-throwing Mesopithecus on the shore. So, good luck if you're also interested in those!
