1. Grow Rapidly: Have you ever seen a newborn panda? They’re pink, blind and hairless and weigh about 3-5 ounces. But you won’t believe that they grow from tiny to huge in a short span of years. Within a year of being born, they become around 100 pounds. And when they are fully grown, they become 6 feet tall and weigh about 350 pounds.

2. Distinctive Fingers: Pandas have six fingers on each of their paws. Most people think pandas are like bears with no dexterity in their paws. But they have opposable thumbs along with five other fingers. These fingers help them to hold a bamboo or remove the stems and leaves from the plants before eating.

3. Carnivores:Would you believe if you come to know that these endearingly cuddly balls of happiness are actually carnivores? Well, yes, they are. This is because their diet consists of only bamboo, which lacks much nutritional value. So, in order to maintain their energy level, they eat up to 85 pounds. Their throats have a special lining which protects against splinters so they can practically eat up a shoot in forty seconds.
