    But Pandas are bears and haven’t changed much. They eat plants and their guts have not even evolved to do so yet. They are a wonder.

      They stopped eating meat 3 million years ago. That’s longer ago than the appearance of the first animal of the genus Homo.

        Sure but their digestive system is still that of a carnivore. And they are still classified as carnivora. And where do you get 3 million years I could find a couple thousand years.
