Habits:
Pandas like to live alone, and each panda has a separate activity area. The main food of pandas is sword bamboo. The characteristic of bamboo is that it can be lush and green all year round, and the nutritional content of each part is roughly the same. They eat the heart and bamboo shoots of bamboo, and sometimes also eat bamboo leaves.
But the panda's intestines are very short, and there are no bacteria for fermenting cellulose. Pandas can only absorb 17% of the bamboo they eat, while geese's food passes through the digestive tract quickly, but their utilization rate is only 30%. This means that pandas spend more than 10 hours eating every day. Pandas eat many types of bamboo, and there are many types of bamboo living in their habitat.
