I think that's where the movie got let down, it was a great movie but could have been much better.
What I got from the Dark Seeker leader was that Neville captured his mate, and being leader managed to get the rest to attack, so Neville was being presumptious in believing they had no social structure, or the script writers ballsed up.
The thing about the trap that was laid for Neville was, how did they get hold of the equipment needed to fire a spike into the ground and set up the cable etc without a high level of intelligence.
Likewise, if the virus turned animals into savage beasts hell bent on just attacking anything in site, how come the infected dogs were tame with the Dark Seekers?
