Despite them being classified as a carnivoran, their diet consist almost exclusively of bamboo. The giant panda's size and round face are adaptations to this diet. Their paw has a "Thumb" and five fingers. The thumb helps it to hold bamboo while eating. However, since bamboo contains very little nutritional value, pandas must eat on average, as much as 9 to 14 Kg to compensate for the limited energy content for its diet. The bamboo leaves contain the highest protein; stems have less. The giant panda is a terrestrial animal and primarily spends its life roaming and feeding in the bamboo forest. They are generally solitary. Pandas are thought to be considered crepuscular. However, it suggests that they may have a category of their own, as their activities are on peak in the morning, afternoon and midnight. | Despite them being classified as a carnivoran, their diet consist almost exclusively of bamboo.
