What is the main food source for the great panda bear?

The Giant Panda is classed as a carnivore, a term which means a meat eater, however the Giant Panda's diet is primarily herbivorous. Their food source consists almost exclusively of bamboo. This causes a problem for the panda, as they have the digestive system of a carnivore that is designed for digesting meat. The panda cannot properly digest the cellulose and therefore derive little protein and energy from their diet. To gain the nourishment the panda needs to survive, it will eat anywhere up to 20 or 30 pounds of bamboo shoots in one day. due to the low nutrition of their diet it is important that the Panda keeps their digestive tract full. A Panda's daily menu consists almost entirely of the leaves, stems, and shoots of various bamboo species.Bamboo contains very little nutritional value, so pandas must eat 12-38kg every day to meet their energy needs.giant pandas eat bamboo shootsgiant panda bears commonly eat bamboo a strong grass
