Probably one of the few maps that highlights, Wales, Northern England, the North and East of Ireland, Sardinia, and Greece.
And when the map was posted to reddit users had the following to say:
RedDordit: “Fun fact: Sardinia has 3 million sheep and 1 million people.
Suffice to say, they have no problem finding girlfriends!”
B8conB8conB8con responded: “Wales has 10 million sheep to 3 million people.”
Elizaleth said:
“New Zealand has 26 million sheep, compared to 22 million in the UK. But New Zealand is slightly larger than the UK, and the sheep are more evenly distributed across the country, whereas the UK’s sheep are concentrated in a few hotspots. So there probably isn’t anywhere in New Zealand more sheep-dense than Wales or North England. That said, the sheep to human ratio is way higher.”
and finally McHaggis1120:
“I just did the maths:
Sheep density:
- UK: 94 sheep/km²
- NZ: 97 sheep/km²
- Wales: 484 sheep/km²
Sheep per capita:
- UK: 339 sheep per 1.000 Limeys
- NZ: 5.062 sheep per 1.000 Kiwis
- Wales: 3.072 sheep per 1.000 Cymry”
Wales gives NZ a relatively close run on sheep per person!”
to which a user responded:
The Falkland Islands has 153 sheep per Falklander (individual, not per thousand)
They’ve even got a sheep on the flag.
Are you surprised by any of the countries on the map?
