Yes it is true - roughly 10 sheep to every one human being. That means roughly 40 to 45 million sheep. However, this is down from the 1980's when there were as many as 70 million sheep here (i.e. roughly 20 sheep for each human being).

Yes. In recent years New Zealand has been known for having 20 times more sheep than people, but that ratio is now down to 10-to-one. It also has more beef cattle, and more dairy cattle, than its present population of 4 million people.

About 8 to 1. On North Island there is now a lot of deer farming.

Yes.
Another interesting fact is that, except in the artic and antarctic, a human being is hardly ever more than a few feet away from a rat!
Or the other way round!
