That isn't very surprising, considering that giant pandas are bears.
Most bears will eat just about anything, like dogs. Polar bears eat mostly meat and pandas eat mostly bamboo shoots, but most bears eat all kinds of things. Pandas will eat birds, frogs, etc. in addition to their staple bamboo, they're herbivores for the most part but they aren't vegetarians.

Yes, but unlike any other bear species, they prefer vegetarian. That, to me, is kind of interesting.

A very famous panda once could survive for months without eating, surviving on the dew of a single ginko leaf and the energy of the universe.
Of course, he also loved his soupy noodles.
And it is said, he could never touch his toes.

Most bears are predominantly vegetarian, although Brown Bears will stuff loads of fish down their throats just before the hibernation.
Black bears are mainly vegetarian but will eat small mammals and will happily raid bins.
Spectacled bears are almost completely vegetarian, eating palms, bamboo and marmalade sandwiches.
Sun Bears are predominantly eaters of Honey (and therefore a friend to psychotic tigers and depressed pigs), but are also massive consumers of ants and termites.
It is only Ursus maritimus that is carnivorous and is one of the very few creatures that actively hunts humans.

And has what is believed to be the best sense of smell of any animal on the planet.
Apparently, a bear’s sense of smell is so acute that they can detect animal carcases from a distance of 20 miles away. 
Oh, and they looooove toothpaste.

If you spent your life eating carcases that were 20 miles away, you want clean teeth!

Yes, I agree of most of it. But if you look at panda's life term diet, it is kind of anti-bear.

Another interesting fact is that the first panda car was made by Stuts[^].
(The Chinese word for panda -- which is the correct word, because that's where they come from -- is "bearcat").

I need to learn how to play this[^] by my birthday (31st March)
At the moment I can do some Stevie Wonder or some Jazz or standard tunes, this is quite a hike up in terms of speed, range and ability.
(I am about to take my Grade 2 Exam)
However, I have made a bet for £100 that I can do it.
(I better start saving, just in case!)
Any pianists out there who can offer tips?

Being an accountant, it would be prudent to lose £100 than to spend anything more on learning it.
