they have reaction times faster than snake strikes, can fall from 15 stories up and have a way to mitigate the impact to survive and can decimate bird populations in areas where they are wild because they have such successful hunting rates. they are pretty neat.
"surviving" and living for a long time is generally not a thing for this situation, idk why people always mention it. Remember seeing cat falling from 9th floor (we have massive buildings with 12 floors in Lithuania) and it survived, except it was bleeding from mount/nose and limping before going to a corner, got medical help super fast within ~20mins, afaik she survived for a week before dying.
