It always amazes me how small birds change direction mid-flight and seem to do it frequently, being able to make tons of movements in small urban areas with lots of obstacles.
Same thing with squirrels – they move so fast and seem to be able to make a hundred movements in the time a human could be able to make ten!
So what’s going on here? Do some animals just THINK faster than humans, and not only move faster than them?
In: Biology
Instincts are a form of auto pilot, ever see a hummingbird hovering or in flight?
Instincts are an automatic firing system in the brain which are compressed in a part of the brain that the distance between synapses is shorter thus a faster response time than say conscience thought which can affect the instinctual movements for limited control but is slower.
