No. While the sheep is an iconic symbol of New Zealand, it is not regarded as a national symbol.

National symbols tend to be unique to a country. The small, flightless bird known as a kiwi is the national symbol of New Zealand.

The sheep flock used to be towards 80 million, but recently it has shrunk to just over 40 million. Mainly due to conversions of sheep farms to dairying, due to poor prices for wool.
