Seriously, a bad sunburn could limit our ability to survive in the wild. I’ve had a few so bad I could barely move and I had a super high fever. Desn’t that happen to animals? How do they manage?

A shorthair dog with light fur will emphatically get a sunburn. The family dog needs to have sunblock applied, else he suffers from sunburn. His sister, with dark fur, does not require sunblock.
If you were exposed from (dark, raining, cloudy) spring onto summer, then usually you might build up a particular type of sun damage know as a “tan”, which would darken with more exposure. Unless you’re one of those who are “pigmentally challenged”, in which case you will always burn.
If you can’t avoid the sun, ***please use sunblock***. **The sun (UV) will always damage**, and the need for Vitamin D is alleviated by food additives. **And you can burn even from indirect sunlight.** The worst burn I’ve had occurred in the dead of winter skiing on sunlit slopes, and also under a canopy on a boat. The reflected sunlight was enough to cause burns in one case, and blisters on the other.
