Panda Keeper

Brenda Morgan, senior panda keeper at the National Zoo.

 

Brenda Morgan's job just may be more coveted than a spot in the White House. Being keeper to the National Zoo's new pandas, like being adviser to the president, certainly has its perks. She got to fly on Panda One, the first-class flight bringing the pandas from China to Washington, D.C. (who needs Air Force One?), and she has the ear of Mei Xiang and Tian Tian, dubbed one of Washington's biggest power couples.
