Pandas don't like to eat old bamboo, and will pick fresh bamboo that is very tender among them.

For pandas, eating bamboo is the same as we hold sugar cane, may be a little hard, but not at all to the point of piercing the mouth, and this also has to do with the panda's eating action, pandas forelimbs are actually very flexible, it will hold the bamboo.

Put the bamboo on the front said cleft teeth, directly with a strong bite to bite the bamboo, and will not be stupid enough to stick the bamboo straight into the mouth to actively make their own scratch, after all, people are also national treasures, or to face.

The intestines of giant pandas are very short, which is also in line with the characteristics of carnivores, but the giant panda food is still mainly bamboo-based, and giant pandas in the eating just bite the bamboo into a small section on swallowing, never chewing and slow swallowing. And each giant panda bites into small segments are not the same length.

So the esophageal cortex of giant pandas is thicker, probably also because the bamboo stubble is more prickly, in order to prevent it from being punctured, and their stomachs are very large, and the gastric mucous membrane and gastric muscular layer are also very thick, all in order to adapt to their eating capacity and the prickly bamboo.

Habitat

The giant pandas live in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in China in the deep valleys of the high mountains, for the windward side of the southeast monsoon, the climate is warm, cool and humid, and its humidity is often more than 80%, and they are a moisture-loving animal. Giant pandas live in six narrow strip, including Minshan Mountain, Qionglai Mountain, Liangshan Mountain, Daxiangling, Xiaoxiangling and Qinling Mountain and several other mountain systems, spanning 45 counties (municipalities) in Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gan provinces, with a habitat area of more than 20,000 square kilometers and a population of about 1,600, of which more than 80% are distributed in Sichuan.

The areas where they are active are mostly in the depression, mountain hollows, river valley terraces, etc., generally in the gently sloping terrain below 20°. These places have lush forests, good bamboo growth, relatively stable temperatures, good hiding conditions, and abundant food and water resources.
