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?

Yea your premise has some misconceptions there.
Pale people get sunburnt – The rest of us with darker shades don’t need sunscreen, maybe for UV protection only.
I lived in the tropics with very intense midday sun. It’s not wise to go out without sunscreen (radiation) but I do anyway. I’ve never been sunburnt in my life so I have no idea what’s that like.
