How can a giant panda defend itself against predators like tigers, brown bears, wolves?

It’s a bear – and quite a big one. It’s unlikely to encounter any of those animals, and most of them would have more sense than to try anything.

Just because they’re lazy and not usually aggressive, doesn’t mean they can’t fight if they need to.

If you still don’t get it, learn that the panda has another name in China: the iron eater.

It just looks cute, but is actually very aggressive.
