All panda versions are lovely, I think《Pirates of the Caribbean》version is the funniest. But usually, panda is a very lazy animal, it wouldn't hold a big falchion. Haha...

Meg,

You are right! That Wang on panda's forehead is the popular surname of Chinese people.

The Chinese character Wang(王) was a sign of Tiger which means he was the King of all the animals in ancient China. There is also a nice story saying that in the past, Horse was the King of forest. One day, a fierce monster appeared and the Horse had no way to beat it. So he went to the heaven to ask for help. The Chinese Jade Emperor sent his bodyguard Tiger to go down to the forest to help, but Tiger asked for a sign if he could win. Then, he won the first time and of course had a "—" carved at his forehead. Some times later, another monster invaded and the Horse again begged the Tiger to help.... he fought with monsters 3 times and won all. At the forth time when he won again, there was the 王 (4 strokes which consist of three "—"and one " I " ) as awards issued by the Jade Emperor on Tiger's forehead and then he became the new ruler of all animals and lived in the world forever. However, put that 王 onto a panda's forehead is definitely a joke or humor, I think.

The character on the panda's head looks like the surname Wang to me (maybe I am wrong, I can't read Chinese properly!).

what is the deal with writing Wang on cats' (and now a panda's!) forehead? I see it all the time, what is it for?
