    Da xiong mao, The Chinese name for the Giant Panda means “great bear cat”. Chinese books, written over 3,000 years ago, talk of the Giant Panda. Even then, it was believed to be endowed with mystical powers capable of warding off natural disaster and evil spirits. The scientific name for Giant Pandas is Ailuropoda melanoleuca David, simply means black and white bear.

    Giant Pandas are classed as bears by most scientists. Unlike other bears, they vocalize by bleating rather than roaring. Until recently, Giant Pandas were grouped with raccoons and lesser pandas. This decision was based primarily on physiological evidence. In the late 1980’s, DNA/serological studies clearly established that Giant Pandas are clearly more bear than raccoon. Some scientists want to place Giant Panda in their own grouping; but for most bear researchers, this does not seen warranted.
