The demilitarized stretch of land acts as a buffer between North and South Korea, and has become a de facto wildlife sanctuary.
An Asiatic black bear has been spotted in the demilitarized zone that separates North and South Korea, authorities have confirmed.
This heavily mined no man’s land is 150 miles long and 2.5 miles wide. It acts as a buffer zone between the two nations, and its borders are heavily militarized. Also known as a “moon bear” or “white-chested bear,” the mid-size bears are black except for a white patch on their torso, a white chin and a brown muzzle.
Asiatic black bears are found across Asia, from the Middle East to China and even in Russia. They are found in North Korea, and in a small isolated population to the south of South Korea, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature. The conservation group, which compiles a “red list” of endangered species, classifies the Asiatic black bear as “vulnerable” overall.
