Why do people call giant pandas panda bears when scientists are not su

[Benson22]

Giant pandas,or as some people call them panda bears ,are related to an animal that looks like a raccoon,a red panda.Therefore,scientists are really not sure where pandas cam from.I do not like it when other people call them bears when no one knows for sure what animal they originated from or why the two types of pandas look like they came from two completely different species.
