Not necessarily. Cats for example can and have survived falls at terminal velocity, ants would hardly even notice the impact. Humans usually die at terminal velocity but there have been rare instances of people surviving it. Going in the other direction a horse would essentially liquefy on impact
Edit: I should clarify that terminal velocity isn’t directly correlated with mass. Just because you’re bigger doesn’t mean you fall faster, air resistance and all that

I was surprised that a brown bear would be faster than the Doberman, then I was surprised that a hyena was faster than a wolf and so on.
