I just realised that on mobile you actually feed it raw fish meat.
Otter

How ARK players tame and knock out the Otter: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.
Guys just don't waste your time trying to tame it on the mobile version of ark Because they don't carry any artifacts on mobile i learned that the hard way..
Stay smart Mosolila
The easiest way to tame an otter is to first tame a kaprosuchus and then pick up the otter and hold it there then tame it that way
You can grab otters with argentavis beak and even land/dismount of your argentavis and it will keep the otter on its beak, then simply fish (preferency with your ichthyornis) and feed them.
I personally use an itchyornis to get the fish and upgrade it so the process of taking an otter is quicker.
The Argy has a 3rd ability that let's you pick up very small animals with its beak. Grab an otter out of the water using this and the Argy will hold it still in a safe spot on land while you go get a fish. You can feed the otter to tame while the Argy is holding it.
U can track them like any other dino u r taming so u don’t loose them whilst u are mid tame
I love how on mobile you harvest the fish meat and passive tame it instead of dragging corpses to it
Idk if this is a bug or what but it seems that otters tame meter does not decrease.
I was taking an otter one time on the island pve official and forgot where it went and lost sight it.
Few days later found it in around the same area with the same progress as when I had left…

I made quick work of taming it on the 2nd encounter.
To tame you need to drag a fish over to them.

(Wrote this because I failed to tame high lv otter before)
They are really hard to find look in small ponds with fish
Easily tameable by putting in Argys mouth then feed it fish
On mobile it’s a passive tame with any fish meat
Xbox taming an otter:
Fly argy to otter.
Push down on right stick to grab otter-WHILE YOU ARE FLYING
Land argy
Drag fish to otter whilst in Argy's beak.
When Argy dips head - feed fish to otter (Y prompt)
Repeat as necessary
Name otter 'Frank'
On mobile u can kill any fish harvest it’s meet and passive tame the otter.on other u have to kill a saber tooth or piranha and drag it’s body to the otter to make it eat it and tame it that way.but yeah
In ark ultimate edition mobile - if u want tame otter then follow methods.
1st kill a fish then collect meat and place on last hotbar.
2nd kill a fish and drag , then go near otter and when u tap , otter feed your fish meat which u place on last hotbar.
Hope it will help u

Once I found an otter on the beach but it was eaten by a mega piranha
They spawn near the red woods rivers and lakes but that’s for mobile and they tame faster with raw prim fish that’s mobile also
