"Spinda's body structure is based on the giant panda with elongated rabbit ears, with its coloring close to that of a subspecies of giant panda, the Qinling panda. The different spot patterns may be a reference to red pandas, which also have their own unique facial markings."
"Spinda is a combination of spin (referring to its twirly eyes and ears) and panda."
