Answer:
Explanation:
The reason behind this is the drag force. When a squirrel jumps from the tree, the surface area exposed to the air is large as compared to the size and weight of the squirrel. ... While in the case of humans, the exposed area is less as compared to the size and weight. So the drag force acting is nearly negligible.
