Not all "intelligent" animals are very social. Adult ravens, for example, tend to prefer being solo or at most in mated pairs (not a hard rule). Hell, many humans prefer being alone much of the time. Some dolphin individuals prefer the company of humans to their own species: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6349760/
