Giant pandas are carnivores, but 99% of their food ingredients are more than 20 kinds of bamboo plants that grow in high mountains and deep valleys. With the change of seasons, the species of bamboo and the parts of bamboo eaten by giant pandas are also different. My favorite is bamboo shoots. From spring to summer, they like to eat several bamboos of Phyllostachys, and bamboo shoots of Bambusa, Fargesia, Fargesia and Fargesia. Bamboo shoot is a new type of bamboo plant without branches and leaves, which grows from underground stems of bamboo. Its tissue is tender and its water content is high. Its nutritional components are crude fat 1.27%, crude fiber 33.62%, crude protein 10.32% and total sugar 26. 15%. Bamboo shoots are tender and juicy, delicious, easy to digest and absorb, and are delicious food for giant pandas. Every year from spring to autumn, in order to eat different kinds of bamboo shoots at different altitudes, giant pandas migrate from Zhongshan to the mountains for food, which is called "catching bamboo shoots"

From the whole Zhu Zhi's point of view, from the lower part to the upper part of bamboo plants, the nutrient content gradually increases. Take the cold arrow bamboo as an example, the crude fat content of bamboo stems is 0.59%, bamboo branches are 3.37%, crude protein bamboo stems are 4.20%, bamboo leaves are 19.44%, crude fiber bamboo stems are 46.66%, and bamboo leaves are 24.27%. It can be seen that although giant pandas like to eat bamboo shoots, they often feed on the bamboo leaves and upper-middle bamboo stems of annual young bamboo, which is very reasonable.

Giant pandas living in the wild occasionally eat other plants, such as wheat without awn, corn, equisetum, green grass, polyporus umbellatus (xùn), wild angelica, notopterygium root, young fir bark and so on. Even uncharacteristically, picking up dead animals or catching smaller animals for food.

Panda puts bamboo in his mouth. When pulling, all the bamboo leaves remain in his mouth, while the bamboo branches are still in his hand, but his mouth is not cut open.
