    "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.

    It is just the way people say it. Language changes over time. Nothing in the English language is permanent.
