They swim up to you if you are in deep enough water (take a swimming mount to regain stam and air).
When they come close they have some text telling you to place food in the '0' slot of your action bar and press E to tame.
Every so often they'll come over hungry and you continue to feed until they tame.

Biggest issue is chasing them if they don't come over often enough and running out of stam or air, hence the mount.

Easy, simply feed them by pressing E after equiping your food in last part of the quick item bar

tamed 2 earlier, leaved them in a not too deep area. Went back home to drop my land dino, came back 2 min after to bring them home, the second they went into deep part, 4 megalodon appeared.

They were doing good, really fast, but they were just not enough good for 4 shark

Hot to mount? no saddle

Even when the description is literally written on the damn animal people still ask.

I've tamed only one so far, as they tend to beach themselves and that's an insta-death :( Very nice.

Are you sure they die when beached? I had one fly out of the sea and it stayed alive the whole time. Taming it and getting it back into the sea was a bit hard, but I did it in the end.

Not sure if the game thought it was in the water still but my client did not tho. -The reason I'm asking if you are sure.
