Lesser Pandas

Lesser Pandas

In the wild, red pandas eat mostly bamboo leaves. They supplement this diet with berries, mushrooms, grasses and bark. Red pandas do eat some meat. They eat insects, bird eggs, bird nestlings, and may even catch an occasional mouse or bamboo rat. In zoos, wahs eat a specially formulated "panda biscuit" supplemented with cut fresh bamboo. The panda can grasp bamboo stalks with a specialized wrist bone called the radial sesamoid. This bone acts as sort of thumb. The wah's digestive system is like a carnivore's; it has a simple stomach and short intestine. This means it can not get the most from its low calorie diet. Wahs must spend a large portion of the day feeding. To help make up for this, they have a low metabolic rate.
