Best Answer

Most of the Giant Panda's adaptations involve the bamboo that it relies on (99% of its diet is bamboo). It has developed a very large head due to its larger jaw muscles, required to bite and chew the thick bamboo. In addition, its molars (teeth) have been adapted to be very smooth and large, which is not normal among bears because bears are carnivores. Finally, their digestive system has adapted to their diet of bamboo. The esophagus and stomach has developed a strong lining so it will not tear, the intestines are shorter due to the high cellulose content of bamboo, and the colon is larger since it is putting much more into its body while producing waste less frequently.

What does adapted means?

Most things adapt to their surroundings. For example if you went to a new school at first you wouldn't know where to go, for your lessons, to go to the loo, but as you stay at that school you would get to know it a bit better. You !would know where to go, that means that you have adapted to you surroundings. Lots of Animals adapt too, like a Polar Bear is adapted to ice and snow, a fish adapted to water.
