Red pandas primarily eat bamboo because it constitutes about 95% of their diet, providing a readily available food source in their native habitats of mountainous regions in China and Nepal. Although they are carnivorous mammals, their digestive systems have adapted to process bamboo, which is low in nutrients. Eating bamboo allows them to consume large quantities to meet their energy needs despite its low caloric content. Additionally, their sharp claws and strong teeth enable them to efficiently grasp and chew bamboo stalks.
