On TikTok, biologist @biomesquita explains that the animal probably didn’t survive the impact. “Not just because he runs away right after the fall, he was able to look good afterwards.”

The mouse may not survive

He also claims that this was due to the fact that the blow was probably very strong, and the small animal could have had serious internal injuries. “Because he had a high level of adrenaline while running, he managed to hit the ground and run.”
