Foxes were allowed into a solar farm, and they ended up turning the panels into part of their habitat (Response of Endangered San Joaquin Kit Foxes to Solar Farms (2022)) (bren.ucsb.edu)

Edit: Okay, this must be an LLM slop farm. That report is from February 2019. The abstract was posted to UCSB's website February 2022.

Here's the report.

The formatting of the EcoPortal article was giving me a migraine. This new trend of bolding everything is obscene.

Keep in mind:

This project was funded by BHE Renewables (formerly MidAmerican Solar). We thank Wendy Greene of BHE Renewables for all of her support and project administration throughout the study. We also thank Gary Hood and Alicia Knapp of BHE Renewables for their support and assistance. We also thank numerous BHE Renewables and First Solar staff at the Topaz Solar Farms for their support and assistance during the course of the study. [...] Finally, we thank Wendy Greene [of BHE] and Kevin Dodson for reviewing the draft report.

Take it with the same grain of salt you'd take a report funded and directly administrated by the industry its results are positive about.
