Can pandas beat tigers and lions?

Pandas are small herbivores, while tigers and lions are aggressive and fierce cats. Theoretically, pandas don't have the ability to defeat tigers or lions.

Panda is relatively weak in constitution, small in size, and inferior in strength and speed to tigers and lions. Secondly, pandas are docile and usually live on bamboo instead of hunting other animals, so their fighting capacity is relatively poor.

In fact, there is no need to compare pandas with tigers or lions, because the living environment and eating habits of these three animals are different and there is no direct competition. In addition, the significance and value of protecting giant pandas is that they are unique and rare species with ecological, cultural and economic values, rather than gaining status and living space by competing with other animals.
