Bears by kind: the eight bears of the world, sentence 16

The giant panda is a true bear that eats almost only bamboo, but its gut is still a meat-eater's gut, so it digests little and must eat for many hours a day; since 2016 it has been listed as vulnerable instead of endangered.

Who acts: giant panda, true bear, gut, bear · What happens: be, eat, digest, list · To what, where: true bear, bamboo, gut, little, bear
