Thank you for all you do, PBS Eons. It's wonderful. A small issue: You said that the closest living relative of the panda is the spectacled bear, but the diagram contradicts this. It shows that pandas are equally related to spectacled bears and all other bears. I think the diagram is correct. Spectacled bears are more closely related to ursinae than they are to pandas; so spectacled bears and ursinae together are equally and more distantly related to pandas.

It's important to note that, since both giant pandas AND red pandas can't really digest bamboo terribly well, this implies that being incapable of digesting bamboo well is actually better when eating bamboo. One theory not mentioned in the video is that bamboo is just so nutrient-poor and difficult to digest that better fiber digestion doesn't provide a substantial enough benefit, potentially even becoming detrimental.

They are technically semi comparable to Red Pandas, so...

Eons folks! Great work overall, but I must take you to task for misreading the phylogenetic tree illustrating the relationship of the Giant Panda to the other members of the Ursidae. According to your tree (at ~3:14), the panda split off first (and Blake goes on to say as much). BUT: just because the panda and the Spectacled Bear are nearest on the tree you've drawn does not mean they are close relatives! On a phylogenetic tree, each branching point signifies a Last Common Ancestor; meaning that, on your tree here, moving from left to right, all of the species branching off from a shared stem share more common ancestry than those branching off before. Given this, the Spectacled Bear shares more ancestry with ALL of the other bear species than ANY of either do with the Giant Panda. Continuing to branch rightward here, the Sloth Bear is shown to be closer kin to the Brown/Polar bear and Sun/Black bear groups than ANY of these three clades are to the spectacled or panda lineages. And, so on. It's a small mistake, but worth noting for those watchers who want go on to read and interpret further phylogenetic studies on their own. You are welcome. :) And again, love the videos. Keep up the good work!

So if the first guy, who named the panda was right about it being a bear. Why then hasn't the name been change back to the name he gave it?

Genus classification requires close genetic relationship, usually within a few million years.
