Tracking tigers in Korea's DMZ


 This talks about a man that loves wild animals. These are not soldiers from the nearby U.S. or South Korean armies. Rather, they are a rag tag team of conservationists (and, he suspects, a few of their buddies who may have joined the trip for the rations of hot dogs and blueberry pancakes).(CNN) 
He is squeezed in a sleeping bag in an old military tent near the Demilitarized Zone in South Korea.He is camping out with a band of men dedicated to protect their loved ones.(he calls it the loved ones, that means wild animals)
The chief eco-warrior is Sun Nam "Tiger" Lim. (In Korean, his last name translates to "Woods" -- as in Tiger Woods -- no kidding.) Lim has been tracking tigers for 20 years and says his research shows the endangered cat lives in the DMZ.
