They don't hunt, they eat bamboo shoots, its called being vegetarians
pandas dont "hunt"... they are herbivores and only eat bamboo!!
"A wild giant panda鈥檚 diet is almost exclusively (99 percent) bamboo. The balance consists of other grasses and occasional small rodents or musk deer fawns." http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Animals/GiantP...



"Diet: Giant pandas are biologically unique. Though they are closely related to bears and have a digestive system of a carnivore (they occasionally hunt for fish or small mammals), long ago they adapted to a vegetarian diet and unlike their omnivorous cousins, depend almost exclusively on bamboo as a food source. Not designed to process plant matter, the panda's digestive system cannot easily break down the cellulose in bamboo, so pandas must eat huge amounts - as much as 83 lbs., and for up to 14 hours, each day. This means the panda's survival is inextricably linked to constant access to good feeding areas." http://intothewild.tripod.com/pandas.htm



The "other" panda, the red pands, also eats mostly bamboo: "The red pandas almost exclusively eats bamboo (mostly leaves, supplemented in the spring with bamboo shoots). It sometimes supplements its diet during the summer with fruit. It has also been reported occasionally to eat a wide variety of other items including berries, blossoms, fungi, seeds, acorns, eggs, young birds, small rodents, and insects." http://www.animalinfo.org/species/carniv...
Pandas dont hunt they eat bamboo, even though they are called a "bear" they do not act like typical bears, they are very sedate lethagic animals.
