Weird fact of the day..
 
It is physically impossible for pigs to look up in the sky

Guess its a good thing for pigs that pterodactyls are now extinct :rolleyes:

What if the pig was standing on the side of a steep hill.


On a treadmill.

Or in a tree

Oh, sorry wrong thread. There's nothing weird about that. :/

I don't believe that. :headshake
Pigs have binocular vision for about 50 degrees straight forward, and can certainly raise their heads high enough, especially when sitting.

You made me look stuff up.

It's Reno.

tis true ... basically their necks are too stout to be able to tilt their heads far enough back to look up :)

If I stand close to the pen, they'll come right up to the fence and look up at me. I doubt they can see the sky directly overhead, even sitting, but they can see the sky.

I see what you did there.








Obviously if pigs had wings they could generate lift anywhere but a vacuum or on a treadmill.

Big Al says that dogs can't look up.

But thanks for the gift of a multi-pig photo.
Gosh I love pigs. Everything including the squeal.
Saw one butchered on TV. Complaints followed of course. I was fascinated. If I'm gonna eat it, I deserve to know how it died.

Rarely eat meat now, but not because of that.
(hoi-sin chicken tonight)

well I'll be gobsmacked.... who'd have thunk that something I read on the internet would be wrong?????

I must admit that being let down by the association of New Zealand pig farmers kinda chuffs my buttons.

*pout*

Big Al says that dogs can't look up. *snort* I've been laughing at that for about three minutes solid.

Dogs only look up for bacon... BACON, bacon, bacon, bacon, BACON, bacon...;)
