Animal Super Powers: Giant Pandas ?

In this episode we explore three remarkable adaptations that help giant pandas thrive in the misty bamboo forests of China. We'll discover the "false thumb"?a special wrist bone that works like an extra finger for gripping slippery bamboo stalks. We'll learn how pandas manage a low-nutrition diet by eating for up to 16 hours a day while conserving energy between meals. And we'll explore how these solitary bears navigate steep mountain slopes, communicate through scent messages, and raise cubs that start life smaller than a stick of butter.

In this episode, we will learn all kinds of fascinating science from the questions you sent in! Questions like why we feel pain, and how it's our body's way of protecting us by sending warning signals to the brain.

We?ll explore the nature of time and why building a time machine isn?t as simple as it sounds. We?ll also uncover why eating salty foods makes us thirsty and how different countries developed their languages over time.
