Panda caught gnawing bone in Shaanxi

A panda has been observed for the first time eating the thighbone of takin, a Himalayan goat on Nov 11in Foping National Nature Reserve in Hanzhong, Northwest China's Shaanxi province, hsw.cn reported on Thursday.

Researchers at the reserve unexpectedly found that an aged panda chewed a takin's thighbone for more than 20 minutes and consumed about half before leaving.

Past findings show that middle-aged and elderly giant pandas suffer from the calcium deficiency osteoporosis. Scientists are unsure if pandas eat the bones as calcium supplements.
