I have my own species all to myself; it's <em>Ailurus fulgens</em>. Those big black and white things are just one more type of bear. OK, so we had a common ancestor way, way, way back in the beginning of time, but who doesn't?</font>
								<p><font size="-1" color="white" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The confusion arose because we live in common habitats. Because I have this great tail, people thought I was a type of racoon. If I was a type of racoon, then the giant panda must be a racoon, too, not a bear. Thanks to modern genetic coding, the whole mess is getting straightened out. I am most certainly NOT a racoon. I'm much cuter.</font></p>
