Is it physically possible for pigs to look up into the sky in the standing position?
It is physically impossible for pigs to look up in the sky – they can't roll down to see the sky, but not in the standing position. Although their anatomy of the neck muscles won’t let them look totally upwards. The only way left to see the sky (or only its reflection) is to look in the mud.

Having worked with pigs I challenge this.

The question asked "can pigs look up" and the answer added "into the sky". Yes pigs can look up but no they cannot look straight up into the sky. Another trick question but no true test of what you know.

As it is written in the New Testament that we as God people can eat whatever we want as long as you pray over your food and stand in faith that it is clean ... Only people that lives under the law goes by what Moses had said bout the certain kinds of foods that we can't eat which was under the law

The answer is wrong. I have met many pigs who can look up at the sky, particularly if someone is wwaggling something tasty above their heads

Jeff Squires, do you eat beef? Cows are split hooved, as are sheet and goats. That pretty much makes you a vegetarian except for chicken and fish.

A pig doesn't have to look straight up to see the sky. Even with its head in a downward position, the sky is clearly visible to him. Either you are going on erroneous information or you wrote this question wrond.

Gramatically incorrect statement. Also pigs can look up.

Poorly written. 2nd sentence is a fragment.

Whoever wrote this answer should get his head out of the mud. He knows nothing about animals, especially pigs.

If you've ever had a pig trying to bite your hand above it, you might disagree with this answer.

A pigs neck muscles make it impossible to move their heads that way, but yes, they can look in an upward manner.

Jeff Squires, true if you're Jewish, but Peter was given the vision that no food creates by God is unclean, that's why Christians can eat pork.
However, all that has nothing to do with the question and a pig's anatomy. Don't you know it irritates people to hijack questions with religious rhetoric?

I DID know that one! That exact explanation was how it taught in junior high school biology class in the Parma School System (Cleveland, Ohio).

What about when they are laying down or getting belly rubs. Sorry, but this is a dumb question.

This question and it's answer seems one sided. Like a trick question rather than knowledge. I want my points back from this question.
