Giant pandas are classified in the Ursidae family as bears by most scientists. In the past, they had been grouped in the Procyonidae family along with raccoons and lesser pandas.However, DNA testing in the 1980's determined that giant pandas were true bears, belonging in Ursidae more so than the Procyonidae family.ossils have been found showing that giant panda bears evolved somewhere between 2 and 3 million years ago.
