Giant pandas evolved from bears that ate both plants and meat, researchers say, and started eating bamboo exclusively about two million years ago. These black-and-white bears spend up to 14 hours a day eating as much as 27.5 pounds of bamboo leaves and stems. However, they can digest only about 17 percent of it.

It's usually made of cotton--which is also called canvas duck or just duck--but linen duck, made from flax, is available.he name duck comes from the Dutch doek, a linen cloth. All canvas was once made from hemp, so this different name was adopted for cotton and linen versions.
