The Giant Panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca, "black-and-white cat-foot"; traditional Chinese: 大熊貓; simplified Chinese: 大熊猫; pinyin: Dàxióngmāo; literally: "big bear cat") is a mammal classified in the bear family (Ursidae)

Marsupials keep their babies in pouches.  Like a kangaroo.

Yah, but what about like the different type of pandas like the Red panda? Is a panda a general animal not a giant panda but just like a regular panda? or is the giant panda the norm?

Yes, it is a bear.  It's the oldest living bear species and closely related to the spectacaled bear
