How fast is terminal velocity for a squirrel?

If we do the math (and having changed the units correctly), the result gives us 10.28 m/s, about 23 mph. The reason for this is because a squirrel has a large area/mass ratio. This means that gravity does not pull on it with too much force but relatively large aerodynamic resistance will be generated.

Can squirrels die from being dropped?

In conclusion, squirrels are built to be comfortable in trees and on the ground, but they can die from falling if their landing is too far below them or if they fall from a great height.

Will a squirrel survive terminal velocity?

squirrels do not take fall damage! they can survive impacts at their terminal velocity (the fastest speed they can fall at due to air resistance/drag)- they reach the full speed of their fall in 3 seconds.

Can squirrels die from falling at terminal velocity?

It is somewhat known that squirrels cannot die from falling as they can survive the impact from a fall at terminal velocity [1]. Indeed, this is if they land feet first.
