Why do panda bears have fangs like carnivores when all they eat is bamboo?

Question

I was wondering if their carnivor-like teeth wouldn’t wear because of eating all that bamboo.
Wouldn’t it be easier for them to have the same teeth as for example rodents?

Answer 1

Because they used to eat meat, they moved away from the coastline and up into the more hilly areas possibly away from humans but there was little for them to eat except bamboo which now makes up the majority of their diet. https://youtu.be/EuJU5xFZIvM
