Because they don't have the enzyme that would allow them to break the beta(1-4) glycosidic bonds in cellulose.
They're scarcely alone in this... no mammals, nor indeed any vertebrates (nor most invertebrates) have this enzyme.
Those animals that obtain a significant portion of their nutrition from cellulose are doing so with the aid of symbiotic gut bacteria that DO have the necessary enzyme. In mammals, these tend to be ruminants, since the bacteria have to be allowed time to work. Red pandas are not ruminants, and instead rely on eating large quantities of a fairly poor foodstuff in order to extract enough nutrition to survive.
Yes, red pandas primarily eat bamboo leaves, shoots, and berries. They have a specialized diet that consists mainly of bamboo due to their inability to digest cellulose efficiently. In addition to bamboo, red pandas may also consume fruits, acorns, and eggs occasionally. Their diet is low in nutrients and they need to consume a large amount of food daily to meet their energy requirements.
table cant walk so that is my answer
