"PREDATORS OF PANDAS
Humans are the giant panda's greatest enemy. Poachers still hunt giant pandas for their pelts, which they sell. Also, leopards sometimes kill cubs."
http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/mammals/panda/
"The black and white markings on giant pandas may have served as an anti-predator device in the past when the animals had predation pressure. The black and white pattern might have broken up the outline the bears presented, similar to the effect of zebra stripes. Also, in the past, when these pandas inhabited snowier areas, the white may have helped these bears blend into the surroundings. However, today giant pandas live in almost snow free areas. Fortunately no more natural predators exist for pandas today (Ward and Kynaston, 1995)." http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/information/Ailuropoda_melanoleuca.html
"In the wild pandas have few natural predators except for humans. Young pandas can be susceptible to leopard attacks. At 2.5 years a panda weighs about 50 lbs it will probably be immune to most natural predation."

I don't think they have many natural predators otherwise a slow lumbering beast like that would be gone a long time ago.
Their major problem is loss of habitat caused by humans. That will kill them off (except in zoos or careful sanctuaries) before any predators get them.
