wonderopolis: can animals get sunburned

 In the wonderopolis, I read about whether animals can get sunburns or not and are 5 facts I learnt: 

1. blue whales are more likely to get sunburnt as that spend more time near the surface.  

2. pig will rolling mud to cover themselves in mud to act as a sunscreen. 

3. around the eyes of hippopotamus it is very sensitive around there and they secrete rust coloured fluids to act as a sunscreen to protect them. 

4.  Elephants will cover themselves and their offspring with sand to use as a kind of sunscreen.

5.  Giraffes have black tongues and scientists think that's so they don't have a sunburn in their tongues.
