We all know that giant pandas like bamboo very much and are typical vegetarians. In fact, the ancestors of giant pandas are carnivores. In other words, they mainly obtain energy by eating meat. How could giant pandas become vegetarians? What about the animals? Let’s introduce the reason why red pandas eat bamboo.

Giant pandas have already existed in the universe for 800 years For thousands of years, over a long period of time, the earth's pollution has continued to change, because giant pandas mainly live in Sichuan, Gansu and other places. With the change, a lot of bamboo has grown in these areas, but their prey has gradually decreased. In order to survive, it is constantly trying to change. Therefore, the giant panda changed its eating habits from a carnivore to a vegetarian. It began to eat bamboo, and its molars became very wide, suitable for crushing bamboo fibers. . To this day, giant pandas still retain the characteristic "canine teeth" of carnivores. Giant pandas like arrow bamboo, black bamboo, and water bamboo, especially spring bamboo shoots. Giant pandas go to a certain area on time every year to eat spring bamboo shoots. Because the energy of bamboo is relatively limited, giant pandas have to eat a lot of bamboo to satisfy their hunger. Therefore, it seems that giant pandas have a big appetite. They eat dozens of kilograms of young bamboo every day and absorb nutrients from a lot of fiber. Because it has to absorb a lot of fiber and lignocellulose every day, it loves to drink more water. Of course, giant pandas sometimes "change the status quo" and eat other small animals. If it sees a bamboo rat, it will chop it to death with a slap and then have a feast. In addition, unless it is used to raise their meat, giant pandas will not actively forage for food (it does not seem to be hard-working).

People who come are by chance and those who go are by chance. forget.

How did a giant panda that only eats bamboo become so fat?

The reason can only be expressed in three words, which means eating more. Giant pandas can eat 100 kilograms of bamboo a day, and giant pandas like to eat the part of bamboo with high starch content, such as spring bamboo shoots and spring bamboo shoots. The high content of tapioca starch and hemicellulose can replenish energy and gain weight for giant pandas. It may be difficult for giant pandas to gain weight even if they can eat and drink.

There are four ways of eating for red pandas:

⊙Sucking style: eating fluid food, such as milk and drinking water.

⊙Licking style: Used when eating thick porridge-like food, specifically using your mouth as a spoon.

⊙Bite-cut type: Bite off the tip of the bamboo, and then peel off the bamboo skin. It is suitable for eating hard or fiber-rich foods.

⊙Nipping style: gnaw in with the incisors and then swallow, roughly the way people eat chicken wings. The key is the method of eating grass, steaks, fresh fruits, etc.
