The four main group in a Pandas food chain are Tertiary Consumer, Secondary Consumer, the Primary Consumer, and the Primary Producer.
The main Primary Producer in their food chain is bamboo ,since 99% of the Giant Panda's diet is Bamboo.
It is the panda's main source of nutrients even though it contains very little nutrients , that's why they eat 30-40 pounds of it a day.
Then that energy goes on to the Primary Consumer and it is the Giant Panda.
After that it that energy goes to the Secondary Consumer in the ecosystem and it is the Leopard and it eats the pandas.
The Leopard usually eats the panda baby cubs.
Then that energy goes to the Tertiary Consumer and it is the Bengal Tiger and it eats the leopard.
