Olympic Opening Ceremony to feature 70 sheep, 12 horses and three cows

Olympics fans, we’re not in Beijing anymore.

Danny Boyle, the visionary filmmaker at the helm of next month’s Opening Ceremony, announced Tuesday that the event will open with 70 sheep, 12 horses, 10 chickens, nine geese, three cows, three sheep dogs, two goats and a plow in an attempt to recreate the British countryside on the world’s biggest stage. What, no partridge in a pear tree?
