Pandas - not hunters. They do not hibernate like other bears. Unlike all other kinds of bears they did not roar, but rather bleat like sheep. More pandas, apparently, does not enjoy the company of their own kind, and a brief period of ovulation in females lasts only one to three days per year, which affects the hormones, regardless of whether or not pregnant panda.
But the strange anomaly of pandas - their diet. Pandas eat bamboo, although their ancestors were carnivores. Their digestive system is clearly designed to digest meat, but they digest the bamboo is not too good.
