I believe the answer is:
pandas
'bamboo eaters' is the definition.

This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for pandas that I've seen before include "Endangered mammals" , "patrol cars" , "Black and white bear-like animals" , "Black-and-white mammals of bamboo forests" , "Chinese bear-like mammals" .)
