Can Intelligence negate Scavenger, Cooperation, Fat Tissue, the Carnivore trait, Body Size or another Intelligence?

The designer reworded Intelligence to negate defensive traits only, declined negating Carnivore, and said a house rule for Scavenger is acceptable.

No. Under the current wording Intelligence negates only defensive traits, the grey-border cards. Scavenger, Cooperation and Fat Tissue are not defensive, Body Size is not a trait, and a Carnivore's own Carnivore trait is not negated. Intelligence cannot negate Intelligence either. Earlier printings allowed Scavenger, and the designer says a house rule to allow it is fine.
