Is the Giant Panda a bear?

I thought the giant panda was not a bear. Shouldn't this be corrected? I am not an authority, however. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.205.73.14 (talk • contribs)

Giant Pandas are indeed bears, belonging to the family Ursidae (with genetic evidence). - Slow Graffiti 05:01, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

they were, then they weren't, now they are again. --86.135.125.235 (talk) 23:35, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The references is wrong, this bear occur only in the Andeans Moutains, and Brazil have no one of this. For sure search in us red books of endangered species. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.15.18.139 (talk) 05:45, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
