What is the scientific explanation behind a cat's ability to always land on its feet?
1 Answer
Cats have an innate ability to always land on their feet, which is known as the cat righting reflex. This reflex is triggered when cats are falling, and it helps them to orient themselves so that their feet are facing downwards. This reflex is made possible by cats' flexible spine, strong abdominal muscles, and their ability to twist and rotate their body in mid air.
