3. Eating habits
The eating habit of the giant panda is one of its strangest and interesting habits, because it lives almost entirely by eating bamboo. Among more than 50 plants naturally ingested in the wild, bamboo accounts for more than half, and accounts for 99% of the annual food intake, among which 7 species, such as Fargesia gigantea and Fargesia gigantea, are people's favorite.
Although giant pandas also have the potential for carnivores to eat meat, they rarely prey on animals or animal carcasses. This is not because it doesn't like meat, but because it lacks opportunities. Because there are few large carnivores in the distribution area of giant pandas, there are not many residual corpses left for them to eat. If it often catches mice and other small animals, the nutrition it gets is often not enough to compensate for the energy it consumes. Therefore, giant pandas can only eat a little meat occasionally, and most of the time they rely on bamboo to maintain their lives step by step, becoming animals that follow the rules and live on bamboo all their lives.
