Eating Leaves or Meat

Just like us, red pandas like to have their meals with a twist. Their jaws are powerful, placing them into the “carnivore” category. They’d also enjoy munching on bamboo leaves. But don’t be surprised if you heard or saw them snacking on insects, bird eggs, small lizards or fruit. According to experts, red pandas can also eat almost 200,000 bamboo leaves per day.
Researchers studied them back in 2009 and couldn’t believe that red pandas have a sweet tooth!
