So, the big panda, which has often called bamboo bear, refers to a mammal of the family bear.However, despite its size, in some respects, including a kind of black-and-white color, the animal could well be compared with raccoons.Apparently, therefore, the scientists took so long to classify the once found in the forests of central China (Tibet and Sichuan provinces) creature.
