i have read that before, but then how do they explain when dogs get tazored,shot etc they don't let go? as the natural response to pain is to let go of whatever you are holding. so if there jaws don't lock and they can let go why don't they? stubborn ****ers, enjoy pain?
I thought that it works the opposite way - and because they feel threatened/pain the only thing going on in their head is to hold on with everything they have.
Would appear so, according to Wiki - and you can't get a bigger authority than that! Anyway, 'bone-crunching', as I originally claimed: it was on an Attenborough programme that even lions don't like messing with Hyenas, as they have jaws with twice the bite-power than anything in the cat family, including jaguars. Even the wild, Alaskan timber-wolf has by far a more powerful bite than any domestic breed of dog, including all the pitbulls. Did say on a programme last year about dogs with Kate Humble (I'd love to lock jaws and loins with her) that, contrary to popular belief, the dog that causes the most hospitalised bites in this country is.... the Labrador. Though this is because it is by far the most popular breed, and they had a casualty doctor on saying that when labs, collies and suchlike bite they tend to go for limbs and let go immediately after biting, whereas pitbulls and suchlike cause proportionally far worse injuries by attacking faces and groins and holding on and shaking (though, tbf, they didn't actually use the phrase 'locking jaws').
