Pandas basically only eat bamboo, which also happens to be incredibly hard to digest. That means that these adorable animals must eat about 30 pounds of the stuff each day to get enough nutrientsādefecating about four-fifths of what they eat. Not only that, but what they do digest is not especially easy on their gastrointestinal system. These guys should really consider a change in diet.
Itās wild to think how much effort pandas put into just eating! Youād think theyād mix it up a bit with something easier on the stomach. But I guess theyāre just really dedicated to that bamboo life. Itās both adorable and a little crazy when you realize they spend so much time munching away just to survive. Makes you wonder what would happen if they tried something new!
Wow, pandas really do have a unique diet! I think itās interesting how their digestive system handles all that bamboo, though. Must be a lot of poop!
