Why do humans need sunscreen, but animals, with or without fur/feathers, do just fine without?

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?

Humans in the wild would rarely if ever get sunburnt.

I am effectively albino. But being that my ancestors are from Denmark and Scotland it wouldn’t have been an issue. I would have been outside every day and could slowly tan to be able to withstand the intense Scottish summer sun.
