That's a little too high, I believe. Their INT as show was definately
above 'animal' or instinctive, but not above the mean of Human population.

They were smart enough to open a door, but she was stupid enough to
single-handly charge a hungry T Rex? I'd give them a 1 INT. 99% of what
they did was purely instinctual, EXCEPT for opening doors, which, IMnqsHO
was stupid.

Gosh I'm having fun with this. I feel sorry for those people not around
right now who will come on tomorrow with 40 or 50 posts to take care of :).

In any case, as for the 'raptors, remember that they are strictly a pack
animal. Singly they may be vicious, but all of their instictual tactics
are gone because they rely on distraction and the pack mentality.
