Nature has provided the sheep with fat and a wick so if you
set fire to them they can be seen by the dogs for a long time.

Surprisingly we do not often hear of spontaneous ovine combustion.
In fact, I don't remember a single case, though I am aware of burning
animals after a lightning strike, for example.

Is this a difference between ovines and humans?

Nope, there never were any spontaneous human combustions.
