South Carolina Code of Laws - Title 47, Chapter 3, Article 13, Section 47-3-710: (C) An animal is not a "dangerous animal" solely by virtue of its breed or species.

MYTH: American Pit Bull Terriers lock their jaws.
Dr. Brisbin: "The few studies which have been conducted of the structure of the skulls, mandibles and teeth of pit bulls show that, in proportion to their size, their jaw structure and thus its inferred functional morphology, is no different than that of any breed of dog.
There is absolutely no evidence for the existence of any kind of "locking mechanism" unique to the structure of the jaw and/or teeth of the American Pit Bull Terrier.

I have friends who do wildlife rehab. The first time I visited their home, one of them took me canoeing. While we were out on the lake an adult otter climbed into the canoe with us. My friend was very nonchalant about it, he'd raised this litter of orphaned otters and then released them near his home.
'Larry' was very social and very curious - and he had huge teeth. I saw him several times while I was there, once getting to watch him play with their 130 lb dog.
It was a fascinating experience but... isn't it illegal for 'regular people' (ie those who aren't licensed wildlife rehabbers) to keep otters? Even if it isn't illegal, it certainly is stupidly irresponsible.
I once took photos (for a wildlife rehab story) of a baby beaver named Bob. It was in a kids pool and was about as sweet as any baby I ever met. I didn't want to leave. Apparently otters have a similar disposition :)
