Home›Birds›EcosystemBrowse ByEcosystemIn ecosystem links a species to the larger ecological community it depends on. Wikipedia notes the giant panda is "mostly herbivorous with a diet consisting almost entirely of bamboo and bamboo shoots," tying it tightly to the montane bamboo forest ecosystem of its native range.
