I never associate sheep with India or China, but with so many people, I guessed.

The 3 African countries surprised me - just guesses that got me 100% but with only 4 secs left.

Fun quizzes, thanks.

Conversely, I consider lamb/mutton the epitome of Indian cuisine - there's nothing like a lamb rogan josh or a sag gosht washed down with a pint or three!

Being from New Zealand, which has such a high proportion of sheep compared to its population, it was hard for me to work out that the only other countries with such high numbers of sheep had to have huge populations, and so spent the whole time just guessing random European, Central Asian, and South American countries, to little avail.

Coming from New Zealand, we probably have very different definitions of "lots of sheep".

To put it into perspective, maybe make it/ a quiz relative to size of the country? That is more telling/informative imo.

Are you sure that all of these answers are correct? Nearly half of the countries mentioned here are located in a desert and I doubt that sheep can live in a desert. Please correct me if I am wrong.

When the data doesn't align with your assumptions perhaps you should question your assumptions.

Sheep can definitely live in deserts, or dry arid, areas. I have been to many farms in Outback Australia that farm sheep in VERY arid conditions.

BigGeographyGuy: might want to reconsider your username, too.

From my perspective, 5 countries (Australia, Algeria, Chad, Morocco, Mali, Sudan) all have significant desert areas, but are all large enough to have plentiful grazing areas. I don't think of any of the other countries as being "in the desert", certainly not nearly half.

There is a wide variety in sheep breeds. Those sheep grazed in semi arid conditions generally resemble goats.

Took me to the very end to figure out the country with the MOST sheep. I guessed all of the African countries before considering China. I'll have to think very hard about whether I've ever had lamb at a Chinese restaurant. *heads off to research traditional Chinese lamb dishes*
