Australia
Australia has more sheep than people, with sheep numbers exceeding the population by over three times.
Infact verdict: Mixed (58/100).
The claim that Australia has more sheep than people is supported by evidence indicating a ratio of approximately 2.7 sheep per person. However, the assertion that the sheep population exceeds the human population by more than three times is incorrect based on current statistics. The sheep population is significant but does not reach the claimed ratio.
