Pigs Have No Real Appreciation for the Sky

Featured in Ripley's Believe It or Not!

MINI BELIEVE IT OR NOT –

Pigs are physically incapable of looking up towards the sky from a standing position.

Most animals evolve in a way that optimizes getting food and escaping predators
A pig’s food is down low
The anatomy of a pig’s neck makes it very difficult to bend backwards
They can look up, but can’t bend their necks enough to gaze at the sky the same way humans do
They can, however, roll on their backs and look up



MINI BION
“BIONs” – short for Believe It or Not – is the word we use at Ripley’s to refer to anything that is unbelievable and worthy to become part of Ripley’s lore and collection.
