1. Carnivore Teeth, Herbivore Diet: Despite being classified as carnivores, giant pandas primarily eat bamboo.
2. Thumb Like Structure: They have a pseudo-thumb which is actually an enlarged wrist bone, helping them grasp bamboo.
3. Newborn Size: Panda cubs are tiny at birth, weighing only about 100 grams (0.2 pounds), which is 1/900th the size of their mothers.
4. Solitary Nature: They are largely solitary animals and have a complex system of vocalizations and scent markings for communication.
5. Digestive System: Pandas have a digestive system more similar to that of a carnivore, meaning they derive little energy from their bamboo-heavy diet.
