Eh? Population density according to Wikipedia (person/km2):

    South Korea 507
    North Korea 201

    New Jersey  470 (densest amont US states)
    New York    162
    California   97
    US average   33
The Korean DMZ is "about 250km long, 4km wide" strip of land sitting between two hostile countries, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers on either side, with barbed wire fences and watch posts running along its length. Thousands of eyes are watching every corner of it right now as I write this.

(For comparison, the Yosemite national park is 1,169 square miles, larger than DMZ. Somehow people are sure that it harbors no grizzly bears.)

A tiger isn't a bigfoot. It is an apex predator that roams around huge areas and is scared at nothing. I stand by my assertion: if there's a tiger in DMZ, we'd know.
