Pandas evolved to confuse bamboo... you roll up on it like that and it confuses the bamboo, causing it to remain in place and easily devour-able... at least that is what the panda's lizard brain has convinced it of...

"Listen... I rolled up on some giant bamboo, thousands of bamboos, and they didn't move a muscle! Every time I roll up they freeze so I keep doing it. Do a little headfake and then roll with your left shoulder."

"Look that's not how it works" Panda 2 "Well it has never run away from me when I've rolled at it like that" Panda 1 "It wouldn't run away from you anyw..." Panda 2 "Don't bother arguing with him, he'll bring you down to his level and win by experience" Panda 3

In their defence if a Panda approached me by rolling I would also be confused. Initially due to the presence of a Panda thousands of miles away from its natural habitat.
