^ I'm not sure if that thought makes orcs less scary, or sheep more scary...

If you think New Zealand is impressive you should see the Islas Malvinas "Falklands" Islands. There are nearly 170 sheep per resident!

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.

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.

Surprised the US was so low on this list (50). There are lots of sheep in our area, including on our farm.

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.
