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.

Sorry, Jho is both much faster and more agile than Gamuto. Jho constantly sidesteps in battle and is not a complete mindless idiot that just attacks, since it is at least smart enough to throw boulders at faraway foes (which shows at least some understanding of tools and the environment). It may be hungry and hostile, but that doesn't mean it's stupid. Gamuto is way too slow and its flanks too vulnerable to be able to outmaneuver a Jho. Jho is also tremendously heavy and muscular and could probably withstand a full blow from Gamuto without toppling, while Jho's fangs, saliva and its own relentless bodyslams are a huge threat to a slow, mostly unarmored target (dragon breath not so much, I'd say). I also don't really understand what makes Gamuto more intelligent than Congalala or Blangonga. In the end though, I think Gamuto seems much better equipped to deal with smaller monsters and would have a tough time with something that rivals (or nears) it in size.

And Dinovaldo can't just slice Jho like that lol, Jho's hide and muscles are still really tough and it has a ton of health. It also doesn't take a lot of damage from fire, and Jho isn't much slower than Valdo (if at all) while having a huge size advantage (while being able to corrode its armor). I don't know where the thing about Dinovaldo being "the strongest brute" came from, but the game sure doesn't seem to think so since Deviljho is still consistently ranked higher in both threat level and quest level. If we're talking about HC Dino though, then I don't know.

I also don't know where you got that Jhos don't hunt Duramboros since I can find no source of that at all. Duramboros seems like it'd pose a bigger threat than Gamuto with its sick helicopter attacks, but I can see no reason why a hungry Jho wouldn't prey on it.

In the end Jho is just canonically stronger than any flagship (except Daora I guess).
