How do pandas eat and hunt?

How Pandas Eat

Pandas are almost exclusively herbivorous, with bamboo shoots and leaves making up over 99% of their diet. They have a special "false thumb" that helps them grip the bamboo shoots, and their teeth are designed for crushing the tough bamboo fibers. Pandas can spend up to 12 hours a day eating, and they can consume up to 30 pounds of bamboo per day.

How Pandas Hunt

Pandas do not hunt, as they are herbivores. They rely on bamboo shoots and leaves for sustenance.
