We all know that
Giant Pandas love bamboo but researchers found out that Giant Pandas generally
love sweet foods. Scientists have also found out that the human DNA and panda
DNA are quite similar. They both have the same "sweet receptor" gene. said behavioural geneticist author Danielle Reed of
the Monell Chemical Senses Centre in Philadelphia.

Peihua Jiang who is another researcher from
Monell added, “We are a bit surprised. However, given the anecdotal
evidence that they like apple, sweet potato and so on in captivity, we are not
completely surprised,”
Experiments were undergone by the
researchers
to test this theory out. The
pandas were given two
bowls of liquid. One of it
was filled with plain water and the other was filled with mixed sugar
solutions. The experiment showed that the pandas emptied the bowls that were
filled with mixed solutions.
