Answer: All of these

Bamboo is a grass that can grow to over 6 feet tall. The pandas eat over 15 different varieties.

The government is working on making "bamboo corridors" that will allow easier movement by the pandas to new sources of bamboo.
2. In the ancient Chinese legend, the panda bear was originally what color?

Answer: All White
