First of all I just want to say that we use our own profile for the real Tyrannosaurus Rex as a reference point for Vastatosaurus Rex's baseline as it's directly stated to be a much further evolved descendant of them, this means it should scale directly to or above them in all attributes including intelligence and I cab prove it too.
In their fight with King Kong we see numerous showings of intelligence from them despite getting outskilled by King Kong such as the moment at 3:40 where instead of just trying to eat the girl held in King Kong's foot it instead latches onto his leg for a firmer hold as it attempts brace itself against the cliff side and climb back up, only failing to do so because the rock that King Kong was holding onto broke from all the extra weight and dropped them down into all those vines. Immediately following this we see the other Vastatosaurus tangled up in all the vines unable to do much until it watches Anna start swinging back and forth on the vine she latched onto and after witnessing her swinging it learns very quickly that it can do the same by pushing off the wall behind it to try and reach her. That is not a normal thought process for an animal of only baseline Animalistic Intelligence, especially for a creature that wasn't evolved for or has instincts based on arboreal movement like monkeys, meaning this species is extremely good at kinesthetic learning. I hope all of these showings help back up the intelligence rating that their lesser ancestors already possess that they should also have and then some.
