Temporomandibular joint and Giant Panda’s (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) adaptation to bamboo diet [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 AbstractHere, we present new evidence that evolutionary adaptation of the Ailuripodinae lineage to bamboo diet has taken place by morphological adaptations in the masticatory system. The giant panda in the wild and in captivity removes without an exception the outer skin of all bamboo shoots, rich in abrasive and toxic compounds, by the highly adapted ...

Color vision in the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) [PDF]
Learning & Behavior, 2006 Hue discrimination abilities of giant pandas were tested, controlling for brightness. Subjects were 2 adult giant pandas (1 male and 1 female). A simultaneous discrimination procedure without correction was used. In five tasks, white, black, and five saturations each of green, blue, and red served as positive stimuli that were paired with one or two ...
