Long Answer: Whilst New Zealand is widely known for its sheep, there are five more countries with a higher number of sheep. These are, in approximate values as of 2008: China (135 mill. sheep), Australia (80 mill. sheep), India (65 mill. sheep), Iran (55 mill. sheep) and Sudan (50 mill. sheep). New Zealand trails closely behind this, with 40 million sheep.
