Before Becoming National Treasures, How Giant Pandas Avoided Attacks by Fierce Beasts

Giant pandas are our 'national treasures' and also everyone's 'cute pets', but in reality, giant pandas are just cute-looking, and their actual combat power far exceeds your imagination.

First, let's talk about biting force – this is an important indicator to measure the predatory ability of carnivorous animals. The picture shows the biting force of different mammals. You can see that the giant panda's biting force is second only to the polar bear among bears, and is comparable to that of lions.

Secondly, a fully grown giant panda can weigh up to 120 kilograms, and the maximum is 180 kilograms, although this is not a heavyweight unit in the wild, but it has exceeded most animals.

Moreover, giant pandas can run at a maximum speed of 50 kilometers per hour, and they also have climbing skills, allowing them to escape to trees or bamboo at any time, so even if they can't compete with other carnivorous animals, they can also protect themselves.

Some people say, 'Giant pandas only eat bamboo, so why are they so powerful?'

Although giant pandas eat bamboo, from the shape of their teeth and the structure of their digestive system, giant pandas are 100% carnivorous animals, they just accidentally acquired the function of digesting bamboo during the process of evolution. For example, the picture shows an animation of a giant panda eating a dead antelope captured by a camera, which is contrary to everyone's beautiful impression of giant pandas.

Furthermore, giant pandas can go crazy, which is not something ordinary humans can withstand. For example, the picture shows a giant panda biting a person, and you can see that it takes three or four people to wrestle a panda.

It's worth knowing that in ancient times, giant pandas were called 'carnivorous beasts', and the legend says that (Shiwu) rode giant pandas and ravaged the world, so giant pandas are not unwilling to fight, they just rely on their faces to do well, why would they use knives and guns?
