According to this study, it may have had to do with the deactivation (technically known as “pseudogenization”) of an umami taste receptor gene. Umami is the taste that makes things like meat, soy sauce, and mushrooms extra yummy. Apparently, at some point in panda evolution, the umami receptor became non-functional. Based on how much the gene has changed, the authors calculate that this happened around the same time that pandas started eating bamboo. Whether it’s cause or effect is unclear, although the authors think the switch to bamboo may have happened before the gene was lost. Regardless, the loss of the gene reinforced the panda’s vegetarian diet because it made meat less delicious to the bears.

What causes ocean water to become denser?
Solnce55 [7]
There are two things that cause ocean water to become denser, and those are b) the salinity of water and low temperatures.
The more salt there is, the denser the water will be - take the lake Dead Sea in Israel, Jordan, and Palestine for example.
And the lower the temperature, again, the denser the water will be - the deeper you go into an ocean, it will be more difficult to move around due to density and other things.
