So, what is the temperament of panda bears? Are they dangerous or safe? Are they docile or ferocious? Are giant pandas dangerous? Are pandas aggressive?Let's find out together!

Although giant pandas are carnivores, they mainly feed on bamboo and occasionally other plants or small animals. The digestive system of panda bears is not suitable for digesting bamboo, so they eat a large amount of bamboo every day, accounting for about 10% to 15% of their body weight. Because eating bamboo requires a lot of time and energy, giant pandas live at a slow pace and spend most of their time eating bamboo or sleeping.

Panda bears are relatively solitary animals. They do not like contact with other animals or humans. They usually live alone in mountain forests except during mating season. Giant pandas have a strong sense of territory. They mark their territory by leaving scent on trees with their urine or claws. If other animals or humans invade their territory, they will make threatening sounds or make aggressive gestures to protect themselves. At this time, the giant panda becomes dangerous.

Although Panda bears look gentle and cute, they are actually very strong and have sharp teeth and claws. If faced with danger or provocation, they will fight back without fear. Some people think that giant pandas are lazy animals, but this is not the case. Giant pandas just adjust their activities according to their own survival needs. When they have enough food and security, they choose to rest and relax. They become active and curious when they need to find food or a mating partner.

Super explosive and biting power. There have been cases of pandas roaring at humans, but they have not caused harm to humans.Adult pandas also have another name, called "iron eating beasts". Because the bite force of pandas can reach 2000 pounds. The bite force of a tiger is 1100 pounds. That is to say, if a panda gets angry, its bite force can reach twice that of a tiger. And pandas have super explosive power, agile movements, and very strong impact. They can also climb trees. They can reach the summit of tall trees over ten meters. Most people may think that only wolves are so agile, but in front of angry pandas, 3 or 4 wolves are not a threat at all.

Although pandas seem to live leisurely every day, eating bamboo, sleeping, and maintaining their cuteness and gentleness. But in fact, once pandas get angry, it is very scary and their aggression is very strong. However, in the absence of unexpected attacks, pandas are a gentle and well tempered animal that will not easily get angry.

Overall, pandas are generally not dangerous, nor aggressive.
