Giant pandas are now enjoying "fast food" at a research base in Chengdu, capital of southwest China's Sichuan Province.
A high-fiber biscuit has been developed by the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding and Research Base for the pandas whose staple food is bamboo.
Experts said the biscuits contained enough nutritional material necessary for the growth of giant pandas, and could help weaker animals with their digestion.
The "fast food" was easily dispensed to giant pandas without time and place limits, and helped to prevent diseases caused by unclean wild food.
