Hi, I have already tried editing the word "Ponya" to the correct term "Panja" multiple times, only to have it reverted by the editors. I am extremely sorry if I do not know how to properly cite the source. I want to do my best to get this information corrected as the word "ponya" does not exist in the Nepali language. The closest word is "Ponja", which is just an incorrect way of spelling "Panja".

Panja refers to claws, palm or fang. The word "panja" is also used in the Hindi language.

I do not know how to make the proper edit. If any editor is reading this, can you please edit the word "ponya" to "panja" and cite the source necessary?

The below is to make the wording a little better and reduce run on

Change

“The shoot is an important energy source, as it contains starch and is 32% protein, hence pandas evolved the ability to effectively digest starch.”

To

“Pandas evolved the ability to effectively digest starch, making the shoot an important energy source. Though mostly starch, bamboo shoots are 32% protein, and therefore a good substitute for a carnivorous diet.”

Or something like that. LPantalons (talk) 15:34, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

the Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) can cause severe symptoms, including fever and respiratory failure, and is highly contagious, posing a severe risk when introduced into panda populations. Leptospirosis, another infectious threat, is a bacterial infection that causes symptoms like fever, jaundice, and kidney damage. Parasitic infections, such as Baylisascaris roundworms, can lead to malnutrition and secondary infections. Pandas in captivity are more vulnerable to infectious diseases due to the close quarters, potentially introducing pathogens and increasing stress levels, further weakening their immune systems.

Pandas diet changes from bamboos to a large leafy diet. This was observed with Captive Pandas but also Wild Pandas. Scientists have noticed a trend that this occurs around breeding time (Cabana et al. 2020)
