Panda Diets
Panda Diets - biology -
Despite a few adaptations, the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) derives very little nutrients from its principle diet of bamboo. Though the panda is herbivorous in practice, its relatively-short digestive tract is more similar to a carnivore. It relies on intestinal microbes, a massive daily intake (20-30 lbs, or 9-14 kg), and a mainly sedentary lifestyle to survive on the nutrient-poor, cellulose-heavy bamboo.
