Jho is not agile, and jho doesn't circle it's prey. It just attacks till prey is dead, theres no strategy. If jho was to circle around gamuto, it's a moving wall. It simply turns around to wherever jho goes and theres huge defense Gamuto has. You're not taking into any consideration gamuto can move like hes some stupid confused creature. Gamuto is arguably one of the smartest fanged beasts.

Gamuto can simply ram into jho once, and he's knocked down. Then hes crushed, and wallah. And if you think jho can beat dinovaldo, wrong. He can simply slam his tail down and jho is sliced in half. Jho has barely any protection. Dinovaldo has spikes and can do flaming bites, which is more brutal than acidic saliva. He has more projectile capabilities and is arguably the strongest brute wyvern. Dinovaldo is the king of brute wyverns.

Not to mention jhos don't hunt duramboros as they are really large and powerful and heavily equipped, so saying Gamuto seems like easy game or endless supplies of food for a jho doesn't seem to valid to me. Gamuto is twice as intimidating than duramboros and larger. I'm pretty sure jhos try to avoid Gamutos as much as possible and if a jho attacks one, it could be fatal. Agreed with the jho statement although a Savage Deviljho could say otherwise.

I wonder how smart Gamuto is? I know elephants are naturally intelligent but I wonder how when compared to say... a Yian Garuga Okay, so enough muscle for now, let's talk about brains!

Can Gamuto outsmart a Garuga? Hmm, i think they're even, but not on the same ground. As war-monging are Garugas, they are really sly when they can avoid Pitfall traps, and they know how to pursue prey, practically anticipating their moves. I'd say their slyness along with their fiery temper is what gives them the balls to defy other predators.

However, Gamuto has a prehensile appendage and prehensility is a great factor for developing intelligence, especially when it comes to searching for food. It would make sense to think that in certain cases, Gamuto could show an ability to use tools -a rock, a branch- when its weight or tusks alone cannot reach. It also throws snowballs when fighting -that alone shows a certain level of intelligence, just as for Rajang, Lagombi, and Congalala for example-
