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?

Animals, especially those without fur/scales, can totally get sunburnt. They learned to coat themselves in mud, hippos sweat out something that works like sunscreen for them, elephants throw sand on their back. Basically, they evolved to be in the conditions they live in, and they found some sort of solution it seems. If they did not find a way to stay out of the sun & didn’t know to do this they totally would fry their skin.
