A panda's body is adapted for a herbivorous diet, primarily consisting of bamboo. They have strong, muscular jaws and flat molars that allow them to efficiently crush and grind the fibrous bamboo. Their digestive system, while similar to that of carnivores, is not highly efficient at extracting nutrients from plant material, leading them to consume large quantities—up to 40 pounds a day. Additionally, pandas have a unique wrist bone that functions like an opposable thumb, aiding in grasping bamboo.
