[MCPE-218243] Baby Zombie Jockey Spawns Riding Panda in Vanilla Survival

While playing in a vanilla Bedrock Edition survival world (no commands, cheats, or mods enabled), a baby zombie spawned riding a panda. This happened naturally without any player intervention. The panda had previously been named with a name tag. The zombie remained fully mounted and behaved like a normal jockey. To my knowledge, pandas are not part of the natural jockey spawn pool, so this appears to be a bug or unexpected behavior.

In the panda.json file, you’ll find the following string of code:

"minecraft:rideable": {
  "seat_count": 1,
  "family_types": [
    "zombie"

Which means that they can be mounted and ridden by baby zombies.

Please provide the source for your information that Pandas are not intended to be ridable by mobs.
