The Quiz: Bamboo makes up almost the entire diet of what animal?
A Giant panda
B Koala
C Macaque
The leaves and shoots of the bamboo plant make up 99% of a panda’s diet, even though technically pandas are carnivores. Because bamboo is relatively low in nutrients, pandas must eat 20-30 pounds daily. All that bamboo still provides little energy to pandas, so they tend to lead a sedentary life with a low metabolism.
The correct answer to this quiz is Giant panda.
