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?

Personally, it seems to me it is just that their whole system ( nervious, musculature, etc) are specifically wired to react like that…
They evolved to be that way, as faster responses resulted in higher likelihood of survival.
