Weird fact of the day..

Ocean's Edge · 04-12-2013, 06:26 PM

It is physically impossible for pigs to look up in the sky

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

ZenGum · 04-12-2013, 07:26 PM

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

On a treadmill.

Lamplighter · 04-12-2013, 08:00 PM

Or in a tree

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

I don't believe that.

Pigs have binocular vision for about 50 degrees straight forward, and can certainly raise their heads high enough, especially when sitting.

It's Reno.

Ocean's Edge · 04-12-2013, 11:15 PM

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

xoxoxoBruce · 04-12-2013, 11:40 PM

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.

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...
