Interspecies Conflict/about pandas

Question
Dear Daniel,

I was surfing the internet, and came across a bit about pandas, and this question occured. I thought I'd ask an expert on the matter.

Would a panda bear be any less dangerous than a different sort of bear? Or are pandas on the same level of danger as other bears? In both terms of physiology and aggression?

This would mostly be in relation to people.

P. S. I love your work here at All Answers.com. It's very entertaining and informational.

Answer
Hello Jascha

Pandas are less aggressive than most other bears but will still attack if it feels threatened or is a mother with a cub. However physically pandas are just as dangerous as other bears and can easily kill a human due to their much superior strength and sharp claws.

Thanks for asking

Feel free to ask again

Expertise

I can answer a variety of questions on interspecies conflict including hypothetical questions. I can go into detail if necessary. I would also like to mention that I prefer questions on reptiles vs mammals or reptiles in general however my best topic is theropod dinosaurs. I have a good understanding of the physiology of most species but cannot answer questions on things such as bite force as statistics on these vary a lot.

Experience

I have studied animals both living and extinct since I was a child and was particularly fascinated by theropods and big cats. I am famous at college for knowing everything about various animals and how they behave.

Education/Credentials
I have an A* in biology (GCSE level)
