Nations that have a low people/km^2 ratio and high urbanization tend to have a lot more large animal species. Predatory ones especially. For example I wouldn't be surprised if our favorite tree killing mod has to keep his waste containers behind iron bars to keep bears out of them. In Churchill Manitoba they have a bear patrol. Due to the fact that actual polar bears (which are about the size of a large european car and 10x as dangerous) migrate through the town every spring. There is also bear patrols in Whistler BC, smaller black bears raid the resort towns hotel dumpsters. And houses if stupid residents feed them. Bears are smart and black bears can crawl through the average north american windows (screens don't stop them) and open you fridge an cupboards. Then they eat everything.
