Which of the following is not true about Giant Panda ?

The Giant Panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is a flagship species for global conservation and has served as the official logo of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) since its founding in 1961. They are endemic to China, specifically found in the temperate forests of Southwest China, including provinces like Sichuan and regions near Tibet [2]. Their diet is highly specialized, consisting almost entirely of bamboo, requiring them to consume 26 to 84 pounds daily. Contrary to being an invasive species, the Giant Panda is a vulnerable species with a small population of approximately 1,864 individuals in the wild [2]. Invasive species are typically non-native organisms that cause ecological or economic harm; the Giant Panda is a native, relict species that provides 'umbrella' protection to its habitat [3].
