PREDATORS AND PREY:

    There are few predators of the Giant Panda. One of it`s predators, believe it or not are humans! We used to kill Giant Pandas for their fur, although there is now a law against that. Another predator is the leopard. Leopards kill baby Giant Pandas for food. Jaguars and wild dogs also kill Giant Pandas for food.

As the Giant Pandas prey or diet consists mainly of Bamboo plants, there is not much that it feeds on in the wild. Bamboo stalks make up 99% of the Pandas diet. Some other foods it may eat are: Insects, but not very often. They tend to eat other grasses and occasionally eat small rodents like rats. In captivity (the zoo) Pandas may eat rice, carrots, apples, sweet potatoes and/or sugar cane.
Did you know?: Giant Pandas spent about 10-16 hours a day eating!
