Bisexual is being potentially being attracted to male and female. ("Bi" meaning "two".)
Pansexual is potentially being attracted to someone, regardless of whether they're male, female, or somewhere outside of the gender binary. ("Pan" meaning "all".)

Bisexual = Attracted to both sexes (male and female) Pansexual = Attracted to all genders and sexes.
The key difference is that Bisexuals recognize the split between males and females [biologically], whereas Pansexuals do not see such boundaries. Pansexuals base attraction simply on their own points-of-view.
Damnit Taeryyn. Stop stealin' mah thundah!

It's a Pansexual salmon named Bertha. Therefore, it has everything.

Bi means two while pan means all. For bi sexuals, they can have an attraction to both men and women but may not be attracted to people who are intersexed, transgender, etc.....basically pansexuals don't care about gender or identity, but the person themselves.
