...Pacific Coast, where they fed on stranded whales. These were grizzlies of prodigious size and power, bold as the noon sun. But the waves of humanity sent the grizzlies retreating into the highest reaches of the outback, into the farthest secret little forests, where they now exist in a no-man's-land, on diets that are as much as 90% vegetarian. The industrial force of the past two centuries selected against the larger, more aggressive grizzlies in the gene pool. Anecdotal evidence suggests that they are smaller...

For example: the crane has had the misfortune to live in areas that have been devastated by war, yet Matthiessen takes delight in observing that one of the best crane sanctuaries on earth now exists, quite unintentionally, in a literal no-man's-land: the demilitarized zone between South and North Korea...
