Sheep.
What can we say... there are quite a few sheep in New Zealand.
More sheep than people.
The most famous sheep must be Shrek:
Shrek, the merino sheep was born on Bendigo Station in Central Otago, but hiding in a cave on the remote hill country of the station he eluded musterers for six years. When he was found in autumn 2004 he was carrying an enormous fleece weighing 25 kilograms, and the shearing by blade shearer, Peter Casserly, yielded 22 kilograms of fine merino wool which was donated to the charity, Cure Kids. Shrek was given a warm woollen coat to compensate for the loss of his fleece.
