How do animals have so quick reaction time compared to human?

731 views

I’ve seen so many videos where animals have(seemingly) instant reaction time and can escape fast from predators, how is it possible and why humans don’t have same reaction time?

I’m not sure this is true for those of us who have trained certain reactions / responses.

In my time I have been known to have extremely fast reflexes. Likewise, I know that some operators develop the live-or-die(-or-kill) reflexes you are speaking of.

Many humans living comfortable lives have not had to practice nor perform the skillsets you are writing of, where-as the animals you may be writing about had to practice it from early in their lives. The ones who were bad at it became another animal’s meal.
