Background
In Minecraft Java Edition 1.16, 1.17, 1.18, 1.19 and 1.20, the entity value for a panda is panda. The panda entity has a unique set of NBT tags that can be used in Minecraft commands such as: /summon and /data.
What are NBT tags (formerly called Data Tags)?
NBT tags allow you to set certain properties of an entity (such as panda). The NBT tag is always surrounded in {} such as {NoAI:1}. If there is more than one NBT tag used in a game command, the NBT tags are separated by a comma such as {NoAI:1, CustomName:"\"Cuddles\""}.

NBT Tag Examples
To summon a panda that is named Cuddles:
/summon panda ~ ~ ~ {CustomName:"\"Cuddles\""}
To summon a panda whose main gene is normal and hidden gene is brown:
/summon panda ~ ~ ~ {MainGene:normal, HiddenGene:brown}
Target Selectors
Before we finish discussing data tags, let's quickly explore how to use the @e target selector. The @e target selector allows you to target entities in your commands. If you use the type=panda value, you can target pandas:
@e[type=panda]
Target Selector Examples
To change the name of the nearest panda to Cuddles:
/data merge entity @e[type=panda,limit=1,sort=nearest] {CustomName:"\"Cuddles\""}
To kill all pandas:
/kill @e[type=panda]
