+bear*trap
+	Probably most commonly associated with trapping, the leghold
+	trap is a rather simple mechanical trap.  It is made up of two
+	jaws, a spring of some sort, and a trigger in the middle.  When
+	the animal steps on the trigger the trap closes around the leg,
+	holding the animal in place.  Usually some kind of lure is used
+	to position the animal, or the trap is set on an animal trail.
+	Traditionally, leghold traps had tightly closing "teeth" to make
+	sure the animal stayed in place.  The teeth also made sure the
+	animal could not move the leg in the trap and ruin their fur.
+	However, this resulted in many animals gnawing off legs in order
+	to escape.  More modern traps have a gap called an "offset jaw"
+	and work more like a handcuff.  They grip above the paw, making
+	sure the animal cannot pull out but does not destroy the leg.
+	This also allows the trapper to release unwanted catches.
