Welcome to today's video, where we'll uncover the surprising eating habits of giant pandas.
Giant pandas spend up to 12 hours a day eating bamboo. It's their main source of food.
But here's the twist: despite being vegetarians, their digestive system is more like a carnivore's. This means they need to eat a LOT of bamboo to get enough nutrients.
About 15% of their body weight in bamboo... every day!
This intense eating leads to... well, a lot of waste. Pandas defecate over 100 times a day!
Let's delve deeper into the science behind this incredible eating routine.
The panda's digestive system struggles to efficiently process bamboo, requiring massive consumption to meet nutritional needs. The excess is then expelled frequently.
