WHO CAN PULL A DC-10 AIRPLANE FASTER -- A TEAM OF LITTLE PEOPLE OR AN ELEPHANT? FIND OUT WHEN FOX AIRS �MAN VS. BEAST #1� FRIDAY, AUGUST 13, ON FOX

Human participants go head to head against beasts in a series of competitions testing a variety of disciplines. Events include: a contest of brute strength when 44 little people compete against an 8,800-pound elephant in a foot race to see who can pull a DC-10 airplane faster; a world-class sprinter races a giraffe and a zebra; a world-record holder in hot dog eating enters the ring to try and out-eat a 1,000-pound bear; and a man competes against a chimpanzee in a military-style obstacle course to determine who is the best, man or beast. Man meets his ultimate competitor in the first installment of the special MAN VS. BEAST airing Friday, August 13 ( 8:00-9:00 PM ET /PT) on FOX. (SP-0342) (TV-PG V)
