Whirls are figures constructed by nesting a sequence of polygons (each having the same number of sides), each slightly smaller and rotated relative to the previous one. The vertices give the path of the n mice in the mice problem, and form n logarithmic spirals.

The square whirl appears on the cover of Freund (1993).
