Every people know the panda likes to eat the bamboo, but nobody knows why pandas eat bamboos. Frankly, it is a big topic in the biology. Even now, we can not confirm exactly the accurate reasons. We have to guess the reason by studying the relationship between the panda and the bamboo. There are several reasons might be believable.
To avoid battle with other animals
The panda is not so friendly as that we feel. In nature, the panda is exactly a beast. They have strong body and powerful claws, so many beasts we know, such as tigers or lions, will not cause a fight with the pandas. The pandas are dangerous for sure. However, the pandas do not like suffer in these wars, they do like peace. They choose the bamboo that most animals, whatever the herbivore or carnivore animals do not like. The bamboo is too firm to eat and digest.
Suitable for the panda’s digest
As I said, most animals can not digest the bamboo, but the panda can do it. They have a special digestive system. Their guts are short with special digestive enzyme. It helps digest cellulose and extract nutrients from bamboos.
Suitable for the panda’s teeth
I just mentioned you the panda is a beast, so it has a scary teeth. The teeth can tear anything up, even the bamboo. We know bamboo is firm extremely. The tigers or lions can pull the animals apart, but they can not rip the bamboo up. Instead, the pandas can.
The panda need the nutrition of bamboo
Although bamboo has a simple nutritional composition with low protein and high cellulose, the panda desires for it. Pandas is more similar to herbivores compared to carnivores, but their digestive system is not healthy enough to fully digest typical plant materials. So, the fiber structure and composition of bamboo can meet the digestive needs of pandas and help maintain their health.
Adaptability and diversity of bamboo
The bamboo grows quickly, it can recover and regrow rapidly, and provide pandas with a sustained and abundant source of food. Also the bamboo has different types, and support different pandas.
Conclusion
The panda is the remark of China, and we call it mythical creature. Just like Booboa, it is not the name of the bamboo. However, Booboa uses the bamboo as the panda do. Using it to decorate the house for residents and to invent all productions for people. The bamboo can be food, clothes, fibers, and tools. Booboa finds out the specific traits of the bamboo and be the best promoters of the bamboo.
