What is an adaptation of a panda?

Answer 1

Giant pandas have forepaws which are extremely flexible. Evolution has given them a enlarged wrist bone (the radial sesamoid) that works in the manner of anopposable thumb.

Answer 2

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. Pandas also developed claws to climb the bamboo.

Pandas have a special digestive system that they use because bamboo is strong, so the digestive system has a special lining which stops it from ripping and tearing.

The panda has a very large head because bamboo is very strong so they need larger, stronger jaw muscles, so the head must be larger so that they can fit in.

The panda has a sixth toe and thumb so it can grip bamboo and tear the leaves off the stem.

Another adaptation of the panda is its strong and smooth molars that help them chew rough bamboo.
