How do pandas spend the winter?

It is easy for pandas to spend the winter, as long as they are fed enough food. Generally eat more than 30 jin of bamboo a day, 3-4 jin of Wotou, 2-3 jin of carrots, and occasionally feed some food such as fruit. Bamboo stalks are the main culms in winter.

Why do pandas eat bamboo?

1. Why giant pandas eat bamboo is actually related to changes in their living environment. After the glacier attack, giant pandas left in Sichuan and Gansu can only live by gradually changing their eating habits. In the process of long-term adaptation to the environment, giant pandas change from meat to bamboo, and their molars become particularly broad, which is suitable for grinding bamboo fiber. Giant pandas like to eat cold arrow bamboo, ink bamboo, water bamboo, especially bamboo shoots, so they go somewhere on time to eat bamboo shoots every year.

2, eat a lot, eat about 20 kilograms of tender bamboo every day, absorb nutrients from a large amount of fiber, because every day to digest a lot of fiber and lignin, so it especially likes to drink water. Of course, giant pandas occasionally eat other small animals, such as when they see bamboo rats, they slap them to death, and then have a good meal. Giant pandas usually eat, sleep, wake up and start eating again. Because bamboo has its rise and fall cycle, about 50-60 years after flowering, the giant panda dies after flowering, which makes the giant panda lack of food and threaten its life. At present, China has established a giant panda reserve, and at the same time, it has also organized large-scale rescue activities for giant pandas and carried out artificial breeding to make this "national treasure" last forever.

3. Pandas not only eat bamboo, giant pandas initially eat meat, but also have the potential of carnivores to eat meat, but seldom eat animals or animal carcasses. This is not because they do not like meat, but because they lack opportunities. Because in the distribution area of giant pandas, there are few large carnivores, and there are not many carcasses left for him to eat. If you often catch small animals such as mice, the nutrition you get is often not enough to compensate for the energy consumed. As a result, giant pandas can only eat a little meat occasionally, and most of the time they rely on bamboo step by step to maintain their life, and become animals that follow the rules and live according to bamboo all their lives.
