Bigger than Staurikosaurus but smaller than Herrerasaurus the Gnathovorax was a small early predator the lived in Santa Maria Formation in Rio in Brazil.

It's most likely that they're solitary hunters or may hunt in pairs but unlikely to hunt in packs as each induvial can catch easy prey by themselves, or perhaps a temporary a growing pack to take down medium sized prey and fight over the food ounce the true is over.

Surprisingly the holotype specimen of Gnathovorax was discovered near to the fossil remains of cynodonts and rhynchosaurs, it could be that they might be the Gnathovorax's natural prey.‭

But during the Triassic early dinosaurs had hard competitions with other reptiles so Gnathovorax might have a hard competition with the South American species of Rauisucha like the Rauisuchus.

Being smaller than herrerasaurus they might be prey to the herrerasaurus, although they live at the same time it didn't live long, probably since it died out during the Carnian Pluvial Event.
