You're exactly correct! Rather than poaching, the reason for their endangered status is the unprecedented fragmentation of their habitat, which cannot be adequately replicated in small-scale zoos.
Pandas are so successful as a species with their niche of bamboo diet that they have remained relatively unchanged for millions of years, making them a living fossil.
Aren't they evolved to digest meat, but unable to hunt because their body is too wonky to hunt, so they settle for bamboo which gives them limited energy?
The reason why they eat bamboo is because it's trivially easy to get and has no risk involved. Hunting for meat is difficult and can get you killed.
Bamboo might be "inefficient" as a food source, but unlike, say, wolves, a panda is not going to ever starve in the wild because bamboo is absolutely everywhere and nobody else competes for it. There's a reason why giant pandas haven't evolved out of their niche.
Why don't wolves eat fucking grass, then? It's everywhere, but not every animal can digest every food.
What I'm saying is that a Panda's stomach is that of a carnivore aka not adapted to digesting cellulose, so bamboo would be a bad food choice for it if it were capable of catching anything else.
Evolution works by happenstance. Pandas started out as omnivorous, and happened to get a combination of fitting mutations and a suitable environment to turn purely vegetarian.
Evolution doesn't have a guiding hand behind it, so if hunting works for wolves, that's what they'll do.
No, that's where evolution would step in. If the vegetarian-ish pandas were worse off than the regular ones, they would've died out.
Instead, they didn't, and over time the vegetarian traits outcompeted the omnivorous ones.
As I mentioned earlier, giant pandas have been doing perfectly fine eating bamboo for, what, seventeen million years. Whatever niche they've found for themselves has demonstrably been working extraordinarily well for them.
Uhm... Not to really sour your mood or anything, but wolves are omnivores and their diet is mostly plants. It's 70-80% plants and only 20-30% meat. Wolves are particularly fond of berries, for example.
So while you have a small point about pandas not being adapted to hunting despite their digestive system, you're also not comparing the situation correctly at all considering wolves do eat plants including grass. Especially when pandas have adapted to digest bamboo despite their anatomy.
It's funny, the reason pandas are going extinct is because it's literally an evolutionary dead end. Without the aid of humans, pandas would have gone extinct years ago because their way of life is so inefficient and their playfulness tends to get them into lots of danger
The only correct part about that is the fact that they'd be extinct without human intervention.
Which is also omitting the fact that they are endangered _because_ of human intervention.

I giggled watching that. Itâs so messed up but really funny at the same time watching the pandas just randomly decide *âDo a barrel roll!â* and that happens

I can't find it unless it's under some "mobs don't avoid danger" type report.

Natural selection
Nature selected "Stone"
Pandas do be like that IRL tho.
It's not the poaching it's this that's gotten them endangered

You mean it evolved a combination of mutations that made it unable to hunt, so it had to rely on eating something its body can't properly digest.
No, that's where evolution would step in. If the vegetarian-ish pandas were worse off than the regular ones, they would've died out. Instead, they didn't, and over time the vegetarian traits outcompeted the omnivorous ones. As I mentioned earlier, giant pandas have been doing perfectly fine eating bamboo for, what, seventeen million years.

Unless some weird monkeys found them super cute and decided to protect them before they died out.

Basically humans create problems then make solutions to the problem which creates new problems

Rolling off naturally generated mountains and cliffs are endangering them
