Bamboo Jungles not spawning in Jungles in the new 1.9.0 Update

As I entered my jungle I came across a 1 panda which gave me hope of finding a bamboo jungle. As I spent around half an hour searching I sadly found no Bamboo Jungles and this is also the new 1.11.4 update. As I've heard if you stay in an area for 5 minutes it may be considered your home so no new structures wil be generated there, well I was only in the jungle biome area once and was there less then 2 minutes and only went to get cocoa beans and tame and ocelot. Not sure if there is a solution or if this is a bug, but any advice is accepted. Quick Note: As I traveled around my world I couldn't find any closest jungle to me, most jungles are very far away, the one I found was around 2,500 blocks away which is pretty far away in survival if you ask me(my opinion).
