While they technically have the digestive system of a carnivore, their diet consists of almost entirely bamboo. They supplement their diet with occasional small animals, but bamboo makes up the vast majority of their food intake.

It's worth noting that all other bear species are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and animals. This includes:

* Brown Bear: Known for their diverse diet including berries, fish, insects, and small mammals.

* Black Bear: Similar to brown bears, they eat a wide variety of plant and animal matter.

* Polar Bear: Primarily eat seals but will also consume berries and other vegetation when available.

* Sloth Bear: Primarily consume termites and ants, but also eat fruit and vegetation.

* Sun Bear: Mostly eat fruits, insects, and small animals.

* American Black Bear: Similar to other black bears, they consume a variety of plant and animal foods.
