"The majority of the Panda Bear's adaptations involve the bamboo that the animal relies on in order to survive. An obvious adaptation to help itself eat bamboo is their sixth toe. This sixth toe or thumb allows the panda to grab the bamboo better for eating. It also helps the panda pull the bamboo shoots and tear off the leaves. The panda bear has developed a very large head due to its large jaw
. muscles, which are needed in order to bite and chew through the thick bamboo. The panda's molars have been adapted to very smooth and large, which is not common among the other species of bears because all the other species are carnivores, unlike the panda. The panda's digestive system has adapted to thier bamboo diet. The esophagus ans stomach have developed a strong lining so it doesnt tear, the panda's intestines are shorter and the colon is larger since the panda is putting large amounts of bamboo into its system."
