intelligence ... a great survival strategy
It may be, but that doesn't mean it has to come to pass. Animals with wheels would be a great survival strategy, it's just that they have to contend with a past history of blood flow. Evolution doesn't go out looking for great ideas. The great ideas have to happen at a time hospitable to their development.

If a cosmic event hadn't wiped out the dinosaurs they would likely be dominant in in a similar form as they were up to this day. Intelligence is a new phenomina and may not prove to be successfull in the long run.
