Originaly, giant pandas were predators. It's only through dures and 
survival obligation that they converted to a vegetarian diet.
Their ordinary preys seems to have disapeared, other potential preys 
where to strong, fast, nimble or small to serve as a viable food source.
They still have the digestive system of a carnivorous creature, their 
dentition is also closer to that of a carnivore than an hebivore.
