There's been a long debate over whether or not giant pandas are bears; the evidence is favoring the view that they are, after years of being associated as sort of enormous raccoons. The polar bear has also changed genus (from Thalarctos, the sea-bears, to Ursus, the true bears) so it, too, is a bear.
Bears and dogs are members of a family that originated in North America during the Miocene.
