Giant panda's diet

A wild giant panda’s diet is almost exclusively 99% bamboo. The balance consists of other grasses and occasional small rodents or musk deer fawns. In zoos, giant pandas eat bamboo, sugar cane, rice gruel, a special high-fiber biscuit, carrots, apples, and sweet potatoes.Wild giant pandas get much of the water they need from bamboo, a grass whose contents are about half water. New bamboo shoots are about 90 percent water. But giant pandas need more water than what bamboo alone can provide. So almost every day wild pandas also drink fresh water from rivers and streams.
