Question: why are panda atractid to bambo

This is interesting! Over time, giant pandas changed from eating meat to eating bamboo – but their digestive systems aren’t really properly adapted for it! In fact, when pandas are born, their bodies can’t properly digest bamboo, so they have to get bacteria from their mother’s poop into their intestines, where it will help break down the bamboo for them!

Bamboo doesn’t give pandas much energy, which is why they have to eat A LOT of it (about 10kg a day!), and they have to spend a long time sitting and chewing it. I think pandas began eating bamboo instead of meat, because there was probably a lot of it around, and it was much easier to catch and eat than other animals that could run away!
