I wouldn't be so sure about that. I saw a squirrel take 2 shots from a small caliber air rifle. It then ran up a tree, jumped to another, then ran all the way up that one. At which point it expired. Later examination showed the first shot had taken out it's heart, the second all but severed it's neck, but it still ran up 2 trees for at least 15 seconds. Tough little critters.
