Pandas were added to Minecraft to raise awareness about them. Finding pandas can be tricky since they spawn only jungle biomes, especially in bamboo jungles. Those who don't find pandas cute should try to find playful and weak pandas.

Playful pandas love to move by rolling on the ground. Weak baby pandas can scare adult pandas and make them jump by sneezing. This is funny and cute at the same time.
