Detailed explanation-1: -Pandas subsist almost entirely on bamboo, eating from 26 to 84 pounds per day. Though solitary animals, pandas still communicate with one another through vocalization and scent marking.
Detailed explanation-2: -Nearly 99% of the giant panda diet is bamboo.
Detailed explanation-3: -Because bamboo is so low in nutrition, pandas spend at least 12 hours each day eating and must keep their digestive tract full. Pandas eat as much as 84 pounds (38 kilograms) of it each day.
Detailed explanation-4: -Bamboo is pandas’ favorite food: more than 99% of their diet is bamboo.
Detailed explanation-5: -The paper, published on 31 January in Current Biology, reveals that giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) started feeding on bamboo exclusively around 5, 000 to 7, 000 years ago. This suggests that before then, the pandas’ diet and habitat were much more complex and varied than researchers thought.
