Speaking of giant panda, I believe what comes to our mind must be the adorable, cute and black-and-white“national treasure”. Of course, some guys will think that giant pandas are “big fatties” who only sleep andeat. But what on earth is the fact? Are giant pandas really as fat as they look like? Today, let the writer take all of us to check it out and find whether giant pandas are fat or not.

“Panda”, “I seem to hear someone saying I’m fat?”

In the 24-hour life of giant panda, half of the time is spent on eating, and another half on sleeping. But of the establishment of this schedule is notjust because they are lazy. To investigate its germ, the food – bamboo, which they take in, shall assume the most responsibilities. Bamboo has few nutrients and low heat.At the same moment, the digesting system of giant panda is also poora lot, which only takes in 17 to 20% of the heat after a meal. In comprehension of the two reasons above, they can only reserve energy depending on dining time after time and reduction of exercise. That’s the way in which they can keep the configuration of “big fatty” to adapt to the tough living conditions in the wild. So, in our eyes, giant panda seems like a “big fatty” spending a whole day eating and sleeping.
