17 Cute Facts about Pandas

What do giant pandas eat?

Giant pandas are omnivores, which means their diet consists of both vegetation and meat. However, bamboo is by far their favourite food.Bamboo is low in nutrients so giant pandas need to eat a lot to survive. In a single day, they can spend 12 to 16 hours eating, consuming up to 44 lb (20 kg) of bamboo. Shoots, when available, are eaten first as they have the most nutrients, followed by leaves and stems.
