How can human body survive lighting strike if it can reach over 100 millions volts, while cows struck by lighting die instantly.
In: Biology
Cows and humans die as easily from lighting. There’s some slight differences depending on the situation that could differ between us and cows or other mammals. Posture at the time (particularly important if not a direct hit, but say a tree near you and dealing with step potential), surroundings, skins wetness, terrain, etc. might come into play, but it’s mostly the same.
Major difference in survival rates would be humans usually receive expert medical attention, cows don’t.
