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?

Our brains can react like theirs, we’d just need to remove some stuff to make it do it. See the advanced parts of our brains (the parts other animals don’t have) work kinda like Broly’s necklace and hand band for the rest of our brain so that it has less power over our actions…like how the necklace and head band limit Broly from unleashing his true power and going completely *animal*. This is called an inhibitory system, one thing inhibits or stops another.
For example, you see your friend walk up to you, and he has this annoying habit of pretending he’s gonna flick you in the eye (he’s not your favorite friend), you always flinched at first, but after enough instances you stop flinching. You flinched because that’s your body reacting to the stimulus of something getting close to your eyes. Your body wants to protect your eyes, they’re important. When you know he’s not flicking you, you know you’re not in danger. there’s no reason to move. By not moving, you *actively* didn’t *(re)act.*
Many lesser animal’s brains do not have those inhibitory functions, because they haven’t evolved far enough along yet, while others are there but limited in capacity. Stimulus causes (re)action…again, for the most part.
