Why are giant pandas called iron eaters?

Giant pandas are called iron eaters for two reasons:

1. In ancient times, when giant pandas were hungry, they often went to residents' homes to feed. They like to lick the cookware, sometimes bite the cookware and copper and iron with powerful teeth, and even steal the metal from the door, so the name "iron-eating beast" appeared.

There is also a saying that giant pandas like to eat salt. When there is no salt to eat, they will run to other people's kitchens, lick the salt left in the iron pot and even bite the iron pot. Therefore, after seeing this situation, the village name mistakenly thought that it ate iron, so it was named "Iron Eating Beast".

Giant pandas live in dense bamboo forests at an altitude of 2,600-3,500 meters. The air here is thin and foggy all the year round, and the temperature is below 20℃. There are a lot of bamboos here, and the distribution of topography and water sources is conducive to the species to nest, hide and feed its young. Giant pandas are good at climbing trees and love to play. Climbing a tree is generally a way for the weak to avoid the strong when approaching the marriage proposal period, or avoiding danger, or meeting each other.

Giant pandas spend half their eating time every day, and most of the rest time in sleep. In the wild, giant pandas sleep for 2-4 hours between meals. 99% of the panda's food is bamboo, and there are more than 60 species of bamboo plants in the genus 12 that can be eaten by giant pandas. The life span of giant pandas in the wild is 18-20 years old, and they can be over 30 years old in captivity.
