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?

It’s like playing dodgeball but you’re playing with your life, if you get hit, you’re dead. You’ve been playing long enough and seen your friends get hit, so you’ve become hyper attuned to the constant danger of a ball being launched your way and learned to react at the first signs of danger. Play this game long enough, and keep passing down your survival instincts for many generations, and eventually you have some hyper alert dodgeball players.
Humans are apex predators, so our survival instinct (from constant immediate danger) is pretty dull from generations of living in relative safety. Wild animals, however, don’t have this luxury and are constantly in a game of “dodgeball”, even when getting a drink of water. Survival of the fittest applies here, if they weren’t quick enough to dodge the attack, they lose. Only the ones with the fastest reaction time survive, sometimes.
