Zhang Shaoxiong is better known as "iron teeth" among residents of Xiangtan, Hunan Province.

The 42-year-old's latest feat towards that moniker saw him pulling a 4-ton, 11m-long car with his teeth in a special competition last Wednesday.

Zhang also used his teeth to pull a 2-ton trainer plane during the competition in the city's Hongtaiyang, or Red Sun, Square.

The Xiangtan resident said he has been practising his teeth for these stunts since 2000. He attributes his iron teeth to a betel-nut chewing habit as a child.
