Among the rolling hills of Camp Pendleton, there lives a lone bison. Once a member of the larger herd, she now prefers to spend her time lazing in the sun and grazing in her favorite fields. Betty, as the Marines affectionately call her, possesses a wealth of knowledge about the base and is always eager to assist a service member in need.
