What would pigs' wingspan be if they could fly?

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS: Your average market pig weighs about 300 lb (135 kg), while others may reach 900 lb (410 kg). They now fall within the range of the most common flying species, Quetzalcoatlus northropi. This is thought to have ranged from 300 lb to 500 kg (135 kg 225 kg). It had an estimated wingspan of 30 to 35 ft (9 m to 10.5 m). However, Q. northropi was physically different from a pig. It was hollow-boned, stood a little less than a giraffe, and acted like a giant heron. Perhaps a better bet would be to compare our pig to a light plane. Jim Bede, a small, single-seat home-built plane, was built in the Bede BD-5, a late 1960s, a U.S. aircraft designer.

Ralph Nader tells third-party rivals to stand down: They's'stuck' with Biden, but they could have a back-up because Kamala is 'not capable' of defeating 'fascist' Trump

In a recent interview, Ralph Nader, the man blamed for Democrats' defeat in the 2000 White House, said that third-party challengers should stand down, and that President Joe Biden is the only option over the 'fascism' that former President Donald Trump represents. In an interview published Tuesday, Nader, 89, said in an interview published Tuesday that he would not admit to playing "spoiler" in 2000, costing Democrat Al Gore the election, but that third-party candidates should consider twice this time around.
