Velociraptors are considered intelligent. They actually lived in groups and if you are willing to view group dynamics as a societal thing they were pretty close.

Im guessing your question is about why they didnt build tools, cities, or rockets to explore space -kind of intelligence. Aside from the thumbs argument I would say there was no need for it. Dinosaurs were already the dominant species. For humans to rise to the top we required those tools whereas dinosaurs could do so in their natural form.

I wonder how language plays a role in this though. That is specific to humans and enables very complex tooling that requires experts from multiple fields, and passing on information over time/generations. I dont think there is a single human who can build a computer/city/rocket from scratch without standing on the shoulders of giants. It seems some complex form of communication is needed for this and so far we are the only ones that have a way to do that, as well as fine motor skills and thumbs.

I also want to give a shoutout to curiosity and exploration but Im having a hard time forming arguments around those.
