[edit]Noun
[edit]panda bear (plural panda bears)
- A giant panda.
Usage notes
[edit]- The term was historically depreciated due to a belief that giant pandas were more closely related to raccoons than "true bears". Usage no longer considered erroneous or folk taxonomic after genetic and morphological studies have confirmed the giant panda as being part of the bear family.
Translations
