Echoing to this perhaps, I heard birds can react 13 times faster than we do, which is especially useful in flight with hundreds or thousands of other birds.

Yes, smaller animals, faster heartrate, more direct wiring, they probably experience time different than we do.

Many human responses are purely unconcious muscle memory due to nervous system latency, this also implies the brain has evolved to be highly predictive as to compensate.

you should see the reaction time of the fly that's been in my house for days now

The trick to catching a fly is to move very slowly

I have heard tell that this works. I have it on somewhat good authority that old ladies may also work with unpredictable results.

		Wow this brought back a hazy memory of school sing-a-longs, thanks.
