Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants in the world allowing it to colonize large areas of land quickly, out competing smaller species.

Bamboo can have large leaves that shade out competitors. These leaves often have a waxy cuticle and drip tips which filter water to the ground. The waxy layer also reflects excess sunlight in warmer conditions. Large leaves also allow bamboo to absorb more sunlight light therefore increase their rate of photosynthesis

Bamboo flowers once in its lifetime and then dies, the duration between flowering is typically very long, as much as 120 years in some species, this prevents rodents from become dependent on there seeds as a food source, increasing the seeds chance of survival.

Rhizomes in root help it to gain more nutrients helping it to grow quickly. When the rhizome is split each fragment will grow into a new plant, having another way to reproduce is quite important for a plant that only flowers once every 120 years

How are pandas adapted to their habitat?

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. The Giant Panda is an endangered species: They live only in China, where they get poached (illegally killed for their body parts). They are threatened with total extinction due to habitat loss -that means that humans are cutting down trees that provide the homes for these bears.
