Giant pandas are carnivores, but 99% of their food is made up of more than 20 types of bamboo plants that grow in the deep valleys of the mountains. With the change of seasons, the pandas' recipes in the bamboo species and eat bamboo parts are also different, the favorite is the bamboo shoots, from spring to summer love to crib bamboo, just bamboo genus of several kinds of bamboo, as well as the Bashan bamboo, bamboo, brown flower arrow bamboo, Huaxi arrow bamboo, big arrow bamboo bamboo bamboo shoots for food. Bamboo shoots from the bamboo underground stem of the bamboo whip on the growth of new bamboo plants not put branches and leaves, its tissue is young, high water content, nutrient composition of crude fat is 1.27%, 33.62% crude fiber, crude protein 10.32%, total sugar 26.15%. Bamboo shoots are young and juicy, palatable, easy to digest and absorb, and are a delicious delicacy for giant pandas. Every year from spring to fall, in order to eat different species of bamboo shoots at different altitudes, giant pandas foraging from the mountains to high mountain migration, which is called "catch bamboo shoots". From the view of the whole bamboo, the content of nutrients gradually increases from the lower to the upper part of the bamboo plant. Take cold arrow bamboo as an example, the crude fat content of bamboo pole is 0.59%, bamboo branch is 3.37%, the crude protein content of bamboo pole is 4.20%, the bamboo leaf is 19.44%, the crude fiber content of bamboo pole is 46.66%, the bamboo leaf is 24.27%. Visible, although the giant panda favor bamboo shoots, but often to bamboo leaves and annual young bamboo in the upper part of the bamboo pole for food is very reasonable. The national treasure giant panda is a carnivore, but more than 90% of its nutrition comes from bamboo. How can pandas digest high-fiber bamboo? This has always been a mystery. Recently, Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding news: scientific and technical personnel after five years of efforts, for the first time in the stomach of giant pandas found ciliates, this discovery will have a profound impact on the study of digestive physiology of giant pandas. Carnivore giant panda has a typical carnivore digestive tract: short intestine, no compound stomach, lack of developed cecum. Therefore, how pandas digest bamboo, is a mystery that countless people want to solve. 5 years, Chengdu Zoo Fei Lisong researcher and Sichuan Agricultural University Professor Yang Guangyou close cooperation, and finally in the giant panda's stomach found a large number of ciliate presence. According to reports, generally in the herbivore digestive tract only ciliates, its biological total accounted for the entire digestive tract microbial total of about 50%, in the digestion and utilization of plant food plays an important role. Carnivorous giant pandas have experienced changes in their diet during their long evolutionary process, mainly to adapt to their living environment. Changes in the animal's diet and nutrition often first affect the organs involved in food digestion and absorption, and ultimately affect the animal's entire body. It is estimated that the giant panda has undergone certain changes in its digestive physiology, but exactly what changes have occurred is a subject that requires in-depth study. Giant pandas are carnivores, but 99% of their food composition is more than 20 kinds of bamboo plants growing in the deep valleys of high mountains. With the seasonal changes, pandas recipes in the bamboo species and eat bamboo parts also have differences, the favorite is bamboo shoots, from spring to summer love to crib bamboo, just bamboo genus of several species of bamboo, as well as the Bashan bamboo, bamboo, brown flower arrow bamboo, Huaxi arrow bamboo, big arrow bamboo bamboo shoots for food. Bamboo shoots from the bamboo underground stem of the bamboo whip on the growth of new bamboo plants not put branches and leaves, its tissue is young and tender, high water content, nutrient composition of crude fat is 1.27%, 33.62% crude fiber, crude protein 10.32%, total sugar 26.15%. Bamboo shoots are young and juicy, palatable, easy to digest and absorb, and are a delicious delicacy for giant pandas. Every year from spring to fall, in order to eat different species of bamboo shoots at different altitudes, giant pandas foraging from the mountains to high mountain migration, which is called "catch bamboo shoots". From the perspective of the whole bamboo, the content of nutrients gradually increases from the lower to the upper part of the bamboo plant. Take cold arrow bamboo as an example, the crude fat content of bamboo pole is 0.59%, bamboo branch is 3.37%, the crude protein content of bamboo pole is 4.20%, the bamboo leaf is 19.44%, the crude fiber content of bamboo pole is 46.66%, the bamboo leaf is 24.27%. It can be seen that, although the giant panda prefers bamboo shoots, but often to bamboo leaves and annual young bamboo in the upper part of the bamboo stalks for food is very reasonable. Giant pandas living in the wild also occasionally feed on other plants, such as awnless wheat, corn, wood sorrel, green grass, porous mushrooms (xùn), wild angelica, qiangwu, young cedar bark and dozens of other plants. They even go against the norm and pick up and eat animal carcasses, or catch smaller animals for food. Giant pandas love meat, especially lamb. Giant panda's strength can be big ah, encounter money leopard is not afraid, hand to hand, generally pandas will win
