can pigs fly ?

Answer 1

No
It's a figure of speech. when someone says "when pigs fly" they are basically saying it will never happen because pigs will never fly.

Pigs can't fly because they have no wings for one and birds who fly have hollow bones and are very light. Pigs most definitely are not light.

Answer 2

Yes but only when loaded onto an aicraft and it takes off. The pig is no more designed to fly unaided than a brick is. Why do people insist on asking the most stupid questions when alittle thought on their part would produce the answer they seek. Of course that would then preclude the 2 point bonus from Yahoo for answering such drivel!!

Answer 3

When the pigs attacking the liberating US forces in the Middle East get bombed, they fly through the air for a few seconds. Sometimes in several pieces.

Answer 4

Of course pigs can fly. How do you think they manage to migrate from South America in the spring.
If you look skyward during April you will see flocks of them returning to Britain to breed. Some settle near London - the're the ones that produce smokey bacon. Some stop off in Ham-pshire - but mostly they nest in the Cairngorms and feed on haggis.

Answer 5

Of course not. Living organisms that fly have wings. And even if pigs had wings, it would not have enough muscles to even move them. Plus, imagine all the blood vessels needed to nourish the wings! And the heart is too small to pump a lot of blood to the wings.

Answer 6

By fly do you mean, take off and sustain altitude or just become airborne..
The later is easily achieved by means of a rather large catapult..
Ask a silly q, get a silly a..lol

Answer 7

Yes but only single-engine planes. They can't seem to pass the license to fly multi-engines.

Answer 8

lol it still confuses me and i was 7 then

Answer 9

A pig has a snout for a nose, small eyes, and a small, curly tail. It has a thick body and short legs. There are four toes on each foot, with the longer, middle toes used for walking. The flying variety have two wings, one on each side of the body, each with a large amount of feathers. Regrettably, they became extinct during the second world war when they kept colliding with Messerschmidts and Spitfires.

Pigs are omnivores, which means that they consume both plants and animals. Pigs will scavenge and have been known to eat any kind of food, including dead insects, worms, tree bark, rotting carcasses, excreta (including their own), garbage, and other pigs. In the wild, they are foraging animals, primarily eating leaves and grasses, roots, fruits and flowers. Occasionally, in captivity, pigs may eat their own young.

A typical pig has a large head with a long snout which is strengthened by a special bone called the prenasal bone and by a disk of cartilage in the tip. The snout is used to dig into the soil to find food and is a very sensitive sense organ. Pigs have a full set of 44 teeth. (Of course, the flying pig's anatomy is rather differnet.) The canine teeth, called tusks, grow continually and become very sharp by the lowers and uppers rubbing against each other.

Pigs that are allowed to forage may be watched by swineherds. Because of their foraging abilities and excellent sense of smell, they are used to find truffles in many European countries. They have been domesticated and raised as livestock by some peoples for meat (called pork) as well as for leather. Their bristly hairs are also used for brushes. Some breeds of pigs, such as the Asian pot-bellied pig, are kept as pets.

A female pig can become pregnant at around 8-18 months of age. She will then go into heat every 21 days. Male pigs become sexually active at 8-10 months of age. A litter of piglets typically contains between 6 and 12 piglets.

Pigs do not have functional sweat glands, so pigs cool themselves using water or mud during hot weather. They also use mud as a form of sunscreen to protect their skin from sunburn. Mud also provides protection against flies and parasites.

Pigs are generally considered to be one of the more intelligent animals on the planet, being compared to dogs. In one study conducted by a Pennsylvania State University professor, two pigs were taught to play rudimentary video games by manipulating a joy stick with their snouts while being rewarded with sweets.

Answer 10

well, free fall for a long time, certainly. Depends on from how high you drop 'em.
