So a seahorse is an actual horse? ( and dozens of others examples).

Giant pandas have recently be classed as bears. And the red panda is in a family of its own, but deemed closer to racoons than the giant panda.

Kodiak bear is a subspecies of the Brown bear, apparently, so doesn't qualify for this quiz. (30 secs of research got me this information.)

Why not add an explanation for this at the top? Half the comments here are asking about it and Glitschko56 hasn't commented since 2012...
