For many decades the precise taxonomic classification of the panda was under debate as both the Giant Panda and the distantly related Red Panda share characteristics of both bears and raccoons. However, genetic testing has revealed that Giant Pandas are true bears and part of the Ursidae family. ...
Classification and Evolution For many decades, there was a dispute over the giant panda’s lineage because it shares traits of both bears and raccoons. However, the giant panda has been proven to be a bear – a member of the family Ursidae. Referred to as living fossils, giant pandas are...
Thus, the loss-of-function of the T1R1 gene might prevent the panda from expressing a functional umami taste receptor, which may partly explain why the panda diet is primarily herbivorous despite its taxonomic classification as a carnivore. Figure 4: Structure of the umami receptor T1R1 gene. ...
The gut microbiota of the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca), a global symbol of conservation, are believed to be involved in the host’s dietary switch to a fibrous bamboo diet. However, their exact roles are still largely unknown. In this study, we f

As a branch of this panda base, the Daxiangling Reintroduction Base in Sichuan Province of southwest China is an experimental site for taking captive giant pandas back into the real natural environment. The free-roaming giant pandas living in the Daxiangling Reintroduction Base are commonly allowed...

the panda has an extra, opposable digit. This “panda’s thumb” confused historical zoologists puzzling over where the panda fit in the taxonomic scheme, but this digit is not truly a thumb at all. Rather, it is the protruding end of the panda’s wrist bone, covered by a thick pad ...
The giant panda feeds almost exclusively on bamboo, a diet highly enriched in lignin and cellulose, but is characterized by a digestive tract similar to carnivores. It is still large unknown if and how the giant panda gut microbiota contributes to lignin and cellulose degradation. Here we show ...
