If it's made from a gismu and a foreign part, it should be made as a type-3, 
which is {danlrpanda} or {mabrnpanda}.

The giant panda is called "dàxióngmāo" in Chinese, along with various other 
names. The Min Dong is "Mà-hṳ̀ng" (=Mandarin "māoxióng"). The red panda is 
"xiăoxióngmāo" in Chinese and also has names in Nepali, Tibetan, and other 
languages, such as "bhalu biralo", "Nigálya pónya", and "wah donka". 
"Xióngmāo" is the source of {ci'onmau}; "nigálya" is an adjective derived from 
the name of a bamboo and "pónya" may be related to the source of "panda".
