Panda 101 ∣ Daily Poop Count of a Giant Panda

Not a good question to ask at the dinner table... How many times does a giant panda poop in a day?

Bamboo isn't very nutritious, so a giant panda must munch through 20 to 40 kilograms of it daily. With just one stomach, a short digestive tract, and a poor ability to process plant fiber, pandas eat quickly and eat a lot, and poop just as fast and frequently. On average, an adult panda can poop over 40 times a day, producing 120 to 150 droppings, totaling 10 to 20 kilograms.
