The ancestor of the giant panda is the stone panda who lived in the tropical forest about 8 million years ago. At that time, it was really a carnivore. At that time, the giant panda was very different from now, more like an enlarged fox. But with the continuous evolution of climate and living environment, it has gradually become an omnivore. At the same time, there are no large predators around them-dinosaurs. In order to survive better and adapt to the increasingly harsh climate, giant pandas began to accept some fresh ones.
After entering the fourth ice age, more animals lost their habitat, and many mountains in Qinling became the last refuge for these animals. During this period, giant pandas can't compete with other carnivores and there are not enough fresh plants to eat. Only bamboo has no nutrition, and more importantly, other herbivores can't chew their teeth and digest their bodies, so the giant panda finally chose bamboo that no one grabbed as his staple food, thus obtaining a stable eating environment, so he has a good figure.
The giant panda is an animal that likes to live alone. Most of the pandas we saw in the panda base either climbed the tree alone or found a secluded place to sleep. Do you know what other living habits the giant panda has?
1, love to sleep. Besides eating, they sleep, or they may eat too hard, so they love to sleep. The feeding time of giant pandas takes about 10 hour a day.
2. Living environment. The main habitat of giant pandas is in the valley of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, where the climate is warm and humid, and it is the place where giant pandas live and multiply.
3. Be good at climbing trees. Giant pandas are chubby, but it doesn't affect their activities at all. They climb trees quickly and can climb to a very high crown, so they can be said to be excellent climbers.
