Are pandas peaceful?

Are pandas real?
Classification. For many decades, the precise taxonomic classification of the giant panda was under debate because it shares characteristics with both bears and raccoons. However, molecular studies indicate the giant panda is a true bear, part of the family Ursidae.
Can you hug a panda?
First of all, although they are undeniably cute and cuddly-looking, you wouldn't want to get too close. “Giant pandas' teeth, claws, fleas, ticks and mites mean you probably don't want to give them a hug,” according to Steven Price, Canada's senior conservation director at the World Wildlife Fund.
