Pandas primarily eat bamboo
as part of their vegetarian diet. However, scientists classify them
as carnivores. A carnivore is a mammal that eats meat.
Pandas used to eat meat. But, during evolution, they lost their ability
to taste it. Instead, they developed special bacteria in their guts.
The bacteria help pandas digest large amounts of vegetables. This
is how the giant carnivores became perfect vegetarians.
