Ananova:

A Chinese man has pulled a small aeroplane more than ten metres with his teeth.

Zhang Shaoxiong, 42, nicknamed Dragon Boy, performed the stunt in Red Sun square in Xiangtan city.

He used a red rope tied to the front wheel to pull the 1.4 tonne Nanchang CJ-6 plane.

"It wasn't a big deal for me. I've pulled things that are even heavier," he told Changsha Evening News.

Zhang says he was inspired to train himself to pull heavy objects with his teeth 20 years ago.

"I was doing some work, and both hands were occupied, so I tried to move something heavy with my teeth, and did it," he said.

He has been training ever since and has also managed to pull a four tonne Lincoln car.

Zhang says his super-strong teeth also come from his life-long habit of chewing betel nuts.
