What is a panda's favorite thing to eat and drink and what is a panda's favorite thing to do?
A Panda's diet largely depends on bamboo shoots and leaves. If they do not reside near at least two kinds of Bamboo, they would likely go hungry, for they eat a large quantity of their body weight every day. I'd imagine that's what they do with their time. As for drink; water....?

What is the body covering of a Panda Bear?

Pandas physical appearance and special adaptatiopns?
The Giant Panda has many adaptations that helps it survive in the conditions that it lives in. Most of these adaptations are because of the Bamboo that the Panda eats to survive. Nutrition The most obvious adaptation to help it eat many different types of Bamboo is its 'sixth toe'. The Giant Panda has five regular appendages that humans would consider toes or fingers. It also has a sixth 'thumb' that allows the Giant Panda to grasp Bamboo better for eating. It also helps the Panda pull the shoots and leaves off of Bamboo stems. The Pandas 'thumb' is actually an extension of the wrist bone. It is a very important adaptation for the Panda to be able to eat so much Bamboo. The Giant Panda Bears head is also an adaptation to eating Bamboo. Giant Pandas are in the family Ursidae, which is the bear family. The Giant Panda has a very large head compared to the other species in its family. The head is so large because Bamboo is a very strong, hard plant. The Panda needs very strong jaw muscles to chew the Bamboo therefore the head has gotten larger to accommodate the larger jaw muscles. If the jaw muscles were not this strong, the Giant Panda would die off because Bamboo is its main source of food. Another adaptation having to do with the Giant Pandas head is its molars. The molars of the Giant Panda have adapted to being very large and smooth. This makes the Giant Panda different from most bears because it only uses its molars to chew the very tough Bamboo. The molars are usually not very important in the Ursidae family because they use their canines to eat and kill food. Giant Pandas rarely use their canine teeth for anything. Photo: David Blank The Giant Panda has a specialized digestive system for eating Bamboo as well. Bamboo is a very hard, tough plant and therefore doesn't go down as smoothly as say, meat. The Giant Pandas esophagus has developed a very strong lining so that when Bamboo goes down it, it won't rip or tear. The same goes for the stomach. The stomach of Giant Pandas is very strong and muscular. Bamboo isn't easy to digest, so the stomach has to be stronger than the normal bear stomach to avoid any unwanted problems with digestion. The intestine of the Panda is short compared to other bears. It is short because the Bamboo has a lot of cellulose in it, and goes straight through the body. Because the intestines are so short, the colon is much larger than other bears colons. The Giant Panda only drinks about once a day, so it does not produce waste as frequently as other bears. Cellulose is also the majority of Bamboo, so it passes straight through the body. The colon needs to be bigger also because of how much the Panda is putting into its body compared to how much it gets rid of wastes. The Giant Panda moves on all four legs. It has no heel pad for its feet which is why when you see them walk, they seem like they are flat-footed. Their legs are very strong and muscular because they are always moving, even though they don't move very far. They can run, but they generally move at a slower pace. === ===
What adaptations helps pandas to survive in its natural habitat?
The panda bear has a thumb that helps them grab bamboo. The thumb that they have is actually apart of a greatly extended wristbone. They also move slowly. This is an example of a behavioral adaptation. They are capable of moving very fast. They just walk at a slow pace to conserve energy because their diet ( mainly plants and bamboo) does not contain a large amount of nutrition.
How much bamboo does a panda eat in 1 day?
A Giant Panda eats 28 pounds of bamboo a day. 99% of their diet is bamboo. They chew bamboo nearly all day long and they have an extra thumb to grasp the bamboo. Their jaws are incredibly strong just to crunch and then eat the bamboo stem!Bamboo stalks vary in sizes. To give you an idea, Pandas eat 20-40 pounds of bamboo each day to provide them with the nutrients they need.About 20-40 pounds but the amazing part is that they really only digest 1/5 of it! Feedback on the answerPanda bears eat 14 pounds of bamboo every day!A Giant Panda eats 25 to 40 pounds of bamboo a day.Adult pandas eat about 40-80 pounds of food a day, 99% of which is bamboo. The other 1% is things like grasses, shrubs, roots, vines and weeds. In captivity they are fed rice, meat, eggs, milk, sugar cane, fruit, carrots, potatoes, honey, bread, and vitamin and mineral supplements along with bamboo.Pandas eat about half their weight in food each day. This means they consume 15 to 30 kilograms (33 to 66 pounds) of food per day. This volume of food is requires as they are eating hard to digest material (bamboo) and aren't very good at extracting nutrients from it.It eats at least 50 pounds of bamboo a day
Do pandas eat 1000 kg of bamboo a day?
Giant pandas eat a lot, but not that much. 1000 kg would be about 6 times the body weight of an adult male. Simply impossible to eat that much in a day.
What is the adaptation of the panda?
Most of the Giant Panda's adaptations involve the bamboo that it relies on (99% of its diet is bamboo). It has developed a very large head due to its larger jaw muscles, required to bite and chew the thick bamboo. In addition, its molars (teeth) have been adapted to be very smooth and large, which is not normal among bears because bears are carnivores. Finally, their digestive system has adapted to their diet of bamboo. The esophagus and stomach has developed a strong lining so it will not tear, the intestines are shorter due to the high cellulose content of bamboo, and the colon is larger since it is putting much more into its body while producing waste less frequently.
