1. Pandas don’t like to communicate
Unlike many other bear species, pandas are not sociable. They prefer to spend most of their time alone and avoid contact with other pandas, except during breeding periods.
2. Pandas are vegetarians
Pandas are known for their plant-based diet, mainly consisting of bamboo. They can consume up to 12-38 kg of bamboo per day! However, their digestive system is not very efficient, so pandas often rest and sleep to conserve energy.
3. Unique fingers
Pandas have a sixth finger on their front paws, which is used as a thumb to hold bamboo and other objects. This finger helps them deftly handle food and the environment.
