"Sheep" is plural for "sheep". In the sentence you gave, "look at that sheep" it is singular, describing a single sheep. But "sheep" can be used as both singular AND plural, such as "look at those sheep" describing more than one sheep.

Sheep is plural for sheep. A sheep. Several sheep.
But "Look at THAT sheep" must be look at that singular sheep, otherwise it'd be Look at those (plural) sheep
