Pandas are close relatives to the raccoon and are more raccoon than they are bear.
Actually, it has recently been discovered that Red Pandas are not any more closely related to raccoons than they are to bears, but are in a family all of their own, called Ailuridae.
Raccoons are members of the Procyonidae
family, while the Bear family is called Ursidae.
