Bean enthuses: Apparently there are 100,000 moose on the island. When you consider that the human population is about 500,000 - WOW!

CapK, polishing his fingernails on his shirt, replies:

In Zild there are

3.9 million humans
Approx. 40 million sheep (down from about 60 million a few years ago.
AND, wait for it, NINETY million opossums.

We're happy with the first statistic.
We're okay with the sheep - they're farm problems anyway.
We're miserable about the last one.

Since possums are an endangered species in their home country, Oz, I have long since advocated that every Australian coming here on business or on holiday should be forced to repatriate about 10,000 of the little sods on their way home.
