Giant Panda Fun Fact: A fun fact about giant pandas is that despite their classification as carnivores, they have a diet that is almost entirely made up of bamboo! In fact, about 99% of a panda’s diet is bamboo, and they can spend up to 12 hours a day eating it to get enough nutrients. Pandas have a special bone in their wrists that acts like a thumb, helping them hold and strip bamboo stalks with surprising dexterity!
