Giant pandas are a species of bear, ending the assumption in the early 20th century that they only looked like bears and were in fact related to the Red Panda. Through studying the genes of the giant panda, it was found that they're bears, but they diverged from other modern bears about 3 million years ago and began the noble pursuit of becoming a vegetarian. They're related to red pandas, but only indirectly, as the red panda's ancestors diverged from bear lines tens of millions of years ago.
