Fox Song

[dragoon78902]

its bone chilling but beautiful at the same time

[possegetflat]

i hav a noise like that in my garden evry couple of nights maybe we have one livin right next to us

[GaaraDarkLover]

wow at 1:18- 1:20 they sound like shimps a little bit 0.0

[WildlifeDen]

Yus. those little guys are the culprits :>

[SizzlinNinja]

That is a HORRIBLE noise... Some of my family members have heard that noise at night when taking out our little dog. We know for sure they are foxes because they often run down the street. One attacked a cat.

[Sittingfox]

Foxes are not physically capable of attacking an adult cat. They actually weigh less than most cats (they usually weigh about 10lb) and don't have the match of a cat's claws. By far the biggest danger to cats is cars, followed by other cats, dogs, and sometimes idiots with airguns. Letting cats roam loose outdoors is highly dangerous but foxes don't figure on the potential harm list.

[SizzlinNinja]

First of all, it wasn't our cat, we make sure ours are indoors. Second of all, foxes are capable of attacking a cat. Our neighbors saw it to and it isn't the first time it is happened. In a different incident our neighbors saw a fox chasing a cat. So don't tell us what we see and what we didn't see. Half the times the fox walk in pairs.

Those are always outside my window and it creeps the hell outta me!

[willboost]

yipping foxes! Keeps you up at night!

[tosan1]

I think they are coyotes.

[Sittingfox]

Trust me, these are red foxes! One of these foxes had a furless tail at the timebecause he was recovering from an illness. There are no coyotes in Europe, anyway, and coyotes tend to be greyer and taller. (I've seen lots of them in Canada.)

[GaaraDarkLover]

those are nothing but fox

[tosan1]

I don't think they are foxes. Look at their tails!

[jpark3909]

my favorite animal = fox

[Sittingfox]

Definitely one of my favourites too! I never tire of watching them - they're so fascinating.

[TheAnticipation16]

@Sittingfox Foxes like watching you too! haha

Very observant animals... I love foxes.

[ShaDHP23]

They're my favorite too. Now I know what all those noises that kept me awake when we lived in the country were. I'm surprised I still remember that.

[StarFoxAutobot]

@jpark3909 Mine too. ^^

[apajax6]

Ah HA! Thank you! That's the barking noise I always hear!

[xXXRHPXXx]

Woah. It sounds like something getting killed!

Are those in your backyard? And what's with the big one's tail, it almost looks like he has mange.

[Sittingfox]

Yes, they visit the garden and sometimes "talk" while in it! The male fox did have mange but he'd been treated and had recovered by the time of this clip. His fur on his tail took ages to grow back though.

[larrydc71]

FORGOT THE THUMBS UP

[Sittingfox]

Thanks!

[larrydc71]

I heard the same sound the other day about 5 am and now know what it was THANKS for the insight! LDC  (oh yes my wife was very scared!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

[FoxxZombie]

SO DATS WUT IT WAS! sounded like somone screamin outside my house. i did see a fox the one time but i didnt know it wuz doin it.

[flanelhead]

They use to wake me up in the night and i thought WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT bus now i know thanks to You

Chers

[carosene]

lol, same! XD and thanks from me too!

[Giellman]

Thanks so much for this! I have a railway track round the back of my house with small trees. I've saw foxes there a couple of times. I've heard screaming noises from there and it has really freaked me out. I simply couldn't figure out what it was. I eventually came to the conclusion that it was a strange bird, but it was doubtful. That's the noise! Thanks!

[Sittingfox]

Their screams get a lot of people wondering. I remember hearing them when I was a child and not knowing what they were either! Thanks very much!

[sethtwc]

kind of freaking looking, like little coyotes

[Foxygrl101]

omgs soo cute

[Sittingfox]

They sure are! The cubs make quieter versions of many of these calls.

[person55554]

had some outside my house, for a second it sounded like a little kid in the woods who was screaming in terror

[Sittingfox]

Certainly, they don't always sound like what we would imagine a fox to sound like!

[jimmorrisonisagod13]

aww they are so adorable!

[nerdswith8guns]

AA so cute!!

[Sittingfox]

Yes, they make the garden far more interesting!

[NamiAquatique]

They sound like monkeys.

[Sittingfox]

Yes, I guess they do a little! :-)

[WerewolfUlrich]

That's cool

[BlasterMaster555]

I think I got it. I couldn't describe this before, but now I got it. This is like the sound of a big dog barking soprano! As for how a big dog could be barking soprano I don't know, but it might have to do with being rebranded an it...

...in any case, I didn't know wild foxes actually barked. I thought they were just shriekers.

[Sittingfox]

Big dog barking soprano...I like it! :-)

[Grandmabee34]

when the tone of the shrieking gets more intense,is that 2 foxes fucking each other?i wonder if anyone has gotten vid of that ??

[Sittingfox]

It's two foxes (often two vixens) basically shouting at each other because they both want something, typically food. It's kind of a vulpine argument.

[foxy992]

man i love foxes

[JessThePest]

God thats scary..

[Sittingfox]

Nah, not really. Humans make much worse calls!

[danitiwa]

I hear it every night.

[andyroo22]

lol when i first heard these i was really scared but when i saw them in my garden like that close it wasnt as scary but the nosises still ensue fear in me and i skip a beat and i dont know why

[Sittingfox]

I enjoy the bark of a fox. It's like the cry of a loon (great northern diver) in northern Canada or the bellowing of male elk in the autumn - a little piece of the wilderness :-)

[poetrynutt88]

Sooooo funny! I was looking up fox calls cause we keep hearing this weird noise at night and I didn't know what a fox sounded like and my brother said that's what was making the noise well as I am watching this my dog gets up out of her sleep comes over to the computer and is watching it all bug-eyed turning her head side to side like what the heck is that!

it was just too funny!

[Sittingfox]

Yeah, my dogs start running around the house looking for the fox when I play this video in their earshot!

[vicgarrett]

Is it the femalew that barkes ?

[Sittingfox]

Yes, that was the one I call the Fringe Vixen.

[vicgarrett]

so does the male bark as well

[Sittingfox]

Yes, they both make a wide variety of cries. But this vixen was particularly noisy that summer.

[SarahSideEffect]

Wow. We don't have foxes around here so I've never heard them. That would scare the hell out of me to wake up to that! It's worse than racoons fighting! Even so, foxes are very pretty and interesting little animals.

[Sittingfox]

Well, it's exciting to hear nature in the raw :-) Foxes are fascinating to watch.

[BartucBG]

Those r so cute... Baau :3

[BartucBG]

Rofl @ Foxes... So cute, and that sound is a bit annoying.

BTW: Are those foxes mating @ 0:56 ?

[Sittingfox]

No, it was just one fox rolling in the conifer.

[FoxTot]

HAHA that was funny! xD Yeah it's cute when they say "vov" like a dog. :p Yes the tail is wierd..?

[Sittingfox]

Just a bit thin ;) He lost his fur there, and it took a while to grow back.

A big part of the annoyance here was the presence of an intruding male fox, who caused some anxiety amongst the regulars.

[FoxTot]

Ooh.. Well, thank you for telling me! :D

(aren't you tired of explaining that about the tail all the time;)

[Sittingfox]

Well, I don't wonder that people are surprised by it!

[Serasia]

They do sound a bit like dogs! That's cool. But it looks like someone shaved their tails..

[Sittingfox]

The Old Dogfox had mange - we treated him, and he's fine now, but his brush took an awful long time to grow back!

[Serasia]

Poor dog-fox. Glad he's better. He sounds...well, he sounds annoyed or something but I bet he's happier now that he's better. Lol.

[Foxfriek]

aww thats cute

[TheWhiteFox]

Great job, I heard those sounds through other sites but never saw a fox actually make them.
