ARK patched how much they eat. Don’t worry about that now but still keep an eye on it. Eats 2 at a time now instead of 5.

WARNING: When raising one of these prior to hatching be sure to have at least 3 fridges full of meat because these babies are absolutely savage and eat around three to five meat at a time! Help spread the word!

NET GUNS!!! No more making yourself dizzy trying to shoot these damn things in the face. Net gun them and keep a Dino to watch you back. Super easy to check levels that way too. Up so more people see this

Since no one is saying it, R-Snow Owl spawns on the bottom left side of the right half of the Genesis 2 map. Up in the mountains.

Turns out I was wrong. Fact checked myself and what I was able to do was heal the doed BEFORE knocking it out, which allowed me to achieve peak taming effectiveness after the rex very nearly killed it. That said, I verified I was wrong, you can't improve taming effectiveness by healing the dino with the owl AFTER it's knocked out.

However, what you CAN do, is heal something before it goes down if it's properly trapped which is still very useful. A good application of this would be rock elementals, which are notoriously difficult to knock out without taking too much damage to keep max effectiveness. If properly distracted, you can heal them with the owl before you make those last two or three cannon ball shots.

Best kept secret in ARK:

Bring the Snow Owl for KO tames. Normally, if the dino got low on health before it went down, you'll lose a lot of taming effectiveness. However, if you use the owl's healing ability to bring the sleeping dinos HP back up *before* you start feeding it, you will not lose any taming effectiveness because of damage. Furthermore, if crap happens and something hurts the dino and drops the TE after you've already started, you can heal them, let them wake up, and start over if you're determined to tame it with max bonus levels.

Note: I tested this with a Doedicurus that was down to a silver of HP because a rex decided to attack just as I was knocking it out. I retained 100% taming effectiveness by fully healing it with the owl before feeding it any kibble to tame it. Takes a lot of the stress out of any KO tame since the heal works on all dinos, tame or wild, and even the riding survivor.

(HKW TO GET SADDLE) Just turn on extinction engrams to learn snow owl saddle blueprint. You dont have to buy the dlc, fjordur dlc already unlock all engrams but you must turn on it.

Regular argy trap works. Tested this on August 15 2020 :)

These mf babies eat like gigss! Had 4 full feeding troughs for two juveniles, wasn't even gone for more than a 3-4 hours and the feeding troughs were empty and the owls were dead.There were no other meat eating tames near the troughs JUST THE OWLS.
