What’s on a panda’s menu?
Bamboo dominates the giant panda’s diet, making up over 99% of what they eat. They may consume various species of bamboo, but occasionally, they might graze on other plants or even animal carcasses in the wild.
How much of their day is spent eating?
Pandas spend around half their lives eating bamboo.
Do pandas hibernate like other bears?
Nope, giant pandas do not hibernate like their brethren. Their diet does not allow them to scarf up enough fish or hidden river proteins to generate the necessary fat for a successful hibernation, like other bears do.
