What's the ratio of people to sheep in New Zealand China Australia and the US?

it is said that there are 3 million people in New Zealand, and 60 million sheep. So the ratio there is 20/1. That is just for New Zealand. I dont think that there is that many in china, america, and australia The sheep to person ratio in New Zealand has dropped to 8 sheep per person for 2008 from a peak of 22 in some years between 1950 and 1990. This is due to many farmers changing to more lucrative production, with the exact change depending on the region. Some major changes have been to beef, wine grape growing and dairy.

A couple of werewolves that I know took a cruise that stopped over in New Zealand. Didn't hear if they made any contributions to the local population or not. They ate a lot of sheep though. Lycans do not exists and are just made up creatures that are related to werewolves, so if you are looking for a real answer, than there are not any lycans in New Zealand. Us lycans can be anywhere so there probably are.
