Elephants + hot dogs = cross-species throwdown.
To get you pumped for the Fourth of July and Saturday's Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, here's a little gem of a contest.
The animal contestants: 3 Asian elephants -- Bunny, Susie and Minnie -- all in their 40s
Weight: 9 tons
The human contestants: The corned beef hash world champion, the cranberry sauce world champion and a blueberry pie eater.
Weight: 500 pounds
Stat of the day: 505-143: Hot dogs the elephants ate in 6 minutes compared to the humans.
Fast fact: The elephants even paused to eat fresh fruit, which did not count toward scoring.
