The text questions whether pigs can see the sky due to the placement of their eyes.

Infact verdict: Mixed (52/100).

The claim that pigs cannot see the sky due to the placement of their eyes is partially true. Evidence indicates that pigs have eyes on the sides of their heads, which limits their upward gaze to about 20-30 degrees. This anatomical feature prevents them from looking directly up at the sky, but they can see portions of it. Therefore, the claim is misleading as pigs can see some parts of the sky, just not directly above them.

Pigs cannot see the sky because of the placement of their eyes.
The evidence shows that pigs have a limited upward gaze due to the placement of their eyes, which restricts them from seeing directly above. However, they can see portions of the sky. This makes the claim misleading rather than entirely false.
