Gorillas are omnivores.
Pandas are ex-carnivores who've transitioned to a specialized herbivore diet over millions of years of evolution do to environmental factors. Additionally, you realize bamboo has a shit ton of protein and carbohydrate in a ratio similar to a hypercarnivores diet, right? That's how they were able to transition in the first place, Pandas digestive system and gut microbiome still resemble carnivores, they're not typical herbivores. In fact pandas have been known to occasionally snack on meat and consume small animals or carrion, aligning them as super picky omnivores.
And PANDAS DO NOT HAVE HANDS, not a single fucking species of bear has hands. They have specialized paws with pseudo-thumbs which is actually a modified wrist bone to grip and eat bamboo, not true hands.
Similar to Panda's, Koalas have specialized paws with curved claws adapted for gripping and climbing trees, not hands.

At least you got 1 thing right, Gorilla's have hands.
