Also: never had anything against foxes, until last spring, when one ate one of our kittens. Good to know their sound.. sometimes one regret to not being a hunter..
Our cat, Gordon, a 10yr old male, who's used to our cat-door, were terrifyed when listening to this. Hides beneath the couch.. and I thought he was afraid of Nothing.( usually attacks and scare away big dogs..)
@FlowingDepths - she did that every meal time, and I was always terrified that she would fall and hurt herself! But she's fine. She's back in the wild now (and probably still finding fences to climb...)
I totally heard the "Ritual Fight" sound one night when I was outside and almost had a heart attack! I had know knew what it was until I just stumbled upon this video. Thanks!
I worked at a camp this summer and one night we heard what we thought was one of the girls was screaming bloody murder. We were all terrified until we found that everything was ok. One of the counselors had a hunch that it was a fox & this confirms it!
Like a couple of other people, I'm glad I saw/heard this, to confirm that what sounded like rabid monkeys in the trees behind my (Detroit) house was actually normal fox noises echoing through the ravine. Phew.
Lol there aren't that many foxes where I come from and was kinda startled when I heard these noises in the middle of the night on a campsite in the UK, not knowing what it was. I only found out it was a fox when I encountered one on my way to the bathroom later that night
This is what I've been hearing for the past 5 years! For a while I thought maybe it was some person sneezing, or a dog, or a dog sneezing. Then I just didn't know. The other day I saw a fox, and I just heard the sounds again, and decided to look up what a fox sounds like.
When I heard this in the dark out my backyard, especially the sounds from 1:08 to 1:34, I knew that rabid zombies were about to kill me. My neighbor and I were pretty freaked out. Thank you for the answer I never thought I would get.
Maybe I sound like a coward, but I was outside smoking a cigarette at about 11:15PM and heard this noise what seemed to be only 50' or so away near my pool! I ran quickly inside as to I had NO idea what it was! I did a quick search for the noise, and sure enough! BOY am I laughing my ass off now. haha!
My boyfriend and I spent ages trying to figure out what sound kept being played in Midsomer Murder episodes, you know when it's a night time scene and its meant to be all creepy. We thought it was a bird!
this stupid sound scared the crap out of me and my cousins the other day we thought it was someone getting stabbed now i listen to it i still get the chills but thank goodness for the fox it saved my life, this sound got us thinking it was a message from GOD
Oh my God .. so me and my friend were sitting in the middle of this small forest for a long time to see some baby foxes cuz my friend said she saw them yesterday, so nothing happened for a while. I played this video on full volume with my phone (3G internet), and when 1:50 came on , 5 seconds later a mother fox came RUNNING towards us , and once she saw that it wasn't her babies she ran back the other way . it was SCARY . we thought she was gnna attack us ...
I heard a fox a few nights ago call put, kind of like a vixens scream but not quite sure with weird "impatient" sounding barking that was more similar to the fighting noise, but their was only one fox as it was RIGHT outside my window.
I hear this every night out side my window, exactly like the one where they were fighting , it's sounds terrible! First Time I heard it I thought coyotese were eating something:( haha but nope jusssttttt foxes , I love foxes though
Thanks so much for helping me identify the very weird sound we hear from our Austin, TX home. This is exactly what I heard. I'm so glad it was just a fox and not something more ominous our criminal.
Where I live is very secluded and you can hear them barking in the forests but at night it adds like a creepy echo and a sort of reverb sound to it. Its quite a terrifying sound then.
Aww cute well that clears that there is this noise been around making that nose at night i new it was a fox thanks for posting video :) i love foxes xxx
I thought a woman was being attacked when I first heard the 'Vixen Barking' outside my window, then when it kept on happening, I realised that living in Leicester it was likely a fox. The place is absolutely full of them! They also like chicken burgers from takeaways, i remember throwing food to one. :)
This has been very helpful. I've just witnessed one of these sounds outside my home and thought some poor animal was in terrible pain. Now I can go to bed and rest without worrying as it definitely was a fox. Thank you so much for educating me.
That is super helpful thank you! We've always had foxes in the garden but i've never really heard their calls apart from the bark. But we've now got a Dog so he reacts to every noise so ive taken notice. I was worried when i first heard the "cub hunger call" that something bad was happening but now i know what it is. The den is right outside the house oddly enough because nextdoor is just overgrown bramble and privet.
So THATS what that sound was... a few minutes ago I heard this really wierd sound from our woods, and I know a few foxes live around here (they steal our chickens sometimes...), so I wanted to see if that's what it was... apparently I was right.
WOW!! Finally! We seriously thought we had a velociraptor living in the pond area behind our apartment. The sounds at the beginning of this are identical to what we heard. Who would ever guess a fox makes this noise? It was utterly bone-chilling when we heard it.
Man I was sleping with my lil sis and all I heard was that vixen sound i did not what it was but my sister jumps up and thought it was a mad animal eating a poor little girl I live right next to the foxes the coyotes one time i picked a baby fox and did not do one bit and the mom was already frightened but still weirdly attacked me
They look so adorable, but thern they opened their mouths and I was like, "WTF." That's freaky. If I heard that in the middle of the night, I'd shit brix.
we heard this weird sound in the early hours of the morning frightened us half to death we are in Corstorphine Edinburgh thanks for the video now know it was a vixen
A few minutes ago I heard an animal screaming that I thought might be a fox, but wasn't sure so did a google. This site turned up--and is just about exactly what I heard. I'm in northern Michigan in the woods, and have lived here for 30 years, and never heard that sound before! Talk about eerie!!
Thank you for posting this. I was awakened at 130 in the morning last night to the "barking" sound. We had no idea what it was. I went outside and finally "saw" who was making that sound. I had NO idea what it was..totally freaked me out. Had I looked for this video last night I would have fell back asleep much quicker! All I kept thinking was.."What the hell WAS that???After searching through the internet for wild animals and the sounds they make I found this video! LOL...So thanks for posting!
Thanx for posting this video we have a fox family in our back garden and they realy make strange noises. Now I know that wery loud noise 3 or 2 am was a fox fight. Thanx.
@superhero68 Hi Mate, i live in Hertfordshire, England, my house is right next door to a farmers field and i hear these noises every single night, they are so loud its unbelievable. When my friends come over they think its a banshee in the fields, seriously, its awesome, Just to let to you know that i live 10 minutes where they film Harry Potter and all the Bond movies, dont know if you wanna know that but just thought id put that in there as alot of my blood family live iv Virginia. Take care.
@rhonda200874 Thanks for sharing!!! Dont know HOW you can live with that sound EVERY night..lol...but I guess you just get used to it after a while. I, on the other hand, grew up in the city, so this is NOT a sound I ever heard..nor did I ever even see a fox before that night! lol...havent seen or heard it since that night..and I have to say..Im pretty thankful. Its so cool that you live near those movie sets.
@superhero68 I was just woken up early this morning by fighting foxes but I also didnt know what it was till I seen this video, It was a VERY frightening sound and very loud to, It lasted for about an hour to !!
@superhero68 that is hilarious because that just happened to me last night.....the only thing is i've been hearing this "scream" for about 2 years and have never found out what it was, until last night when it was so close to my house, i looked out the window and there's a fox in the road....one of my neighbors warned me that there was a fox around.....never knew such a cute animal could make such a retched sound!
Are they like really dangerous to have in yr neighborhood n will they attak dogs or cats?? I heard one just before nd a dog barking...my cats r outside so ya.
@AGUYWHOSBEDISSTOLEN - foxes are not what I'd class as dangerous animals, though all wildlife (even squirrels) should be treated with respect and not handled. They're far too small to be a risk to any dog bigger than a chihuahua, and are no threat to an adult cat. But your outdoor cats are definitely at risk from cars, feline HIV, garden poisons, dogs, and (depending where you live) potentially coyotes...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@AGUYWHOSBEDISSTOLEN There have been a few stories in the British papers recently about a fox attacking two children in a school playground in broad daylight. Also, a few weeks before a fox made its way into a house, went upstairs and mauled a 2 year old girl in her crib whilst her parents were sat downstairs watching TV. They're becoming too brave around here.
That's not correct. There was one incident of a fox (thought to be a cub) biting two 9-month old young babies in a London house, but that's accepted to be a freak event. There was a separate case of a little boy being bitten when he reached under a shed to get a ball and accidentally startled the fox, which nipped him in defence, but so would any wild animal. By world standards, foxes in general are very easy wildlife to live with. We can live and let live without much trouble.
@mcfc90 A child is far more likely to be injured by a dog! If you knew anything about foxes you'd know they are very timid creatures and keep themselves to themselves. A human being injured by a fox is an exception rather than a norm.
I live in a built up area and we have had a fox here for years, last night I was woken by what I thought was kids, then thought some sort of ape (we dont have them in the UK!) but the pattern was like a dog barking I then saw it was the fox,
When I moved back in with my P's years ago.. the first time I ever heard this noise I swear a dog was being murdered.. Kept hearing it night after night.. Looked it up and found out it was a fox. I'm used to it by now.. but man, the noises they emit still creep me out and make me stop dead in my tracks.
I had a couple of those making those calls two nights ago and again last night when I was sleeping in my treehouse out in the woods. I had no idea what they were. It was extremely creepy, especially when they decided they wanted to be right in front of the treehouse.
I live in a town, but my house borders a hill that no one inhabits for miles. It has its fair share of wildlife. The calling sound in the beginning is SO CREEPY to hear at night. Not to mention hearing the fox hunt some of the feral cats around here.
@sweeperchick - it's actually extremely rare, lightning-strike rare, for foxes to attack cats. They're not as big as they look; a big male cat weighs more than a fox and is much more muscular - and has deadly claws. There are many records of foxes being killed by pet cats, but the evidence for the reverse is very shaky. Coyotes, on the other hand, will definitely kill free-roaming cats.
@Sittingfox - I guess I should say that there are a lot of feral cats (of all sizes) around my house, thanks to the guy who owns five abandoned barns across the street and doesn't take care of them. I have seen a fox run down our driveway, across the street, and into the barns looking for cats. Maybe it's after the kittens. But it's true I have also seen a tomcat chase the fox.
@Adak6881 - the Alaska Dept of Fish and Game puts a red fox's weight at 10 - 15lb. In Britain, they average 13lb. A large cat like a Maine Coon can weigh 25lb. And they're built very differently; foxes are lean and light for leaping on things, whereas cats are much more muscled, and are armed with deadly retractable claws as well.
Also: never had anything against foxes, until last spring, when one ate one of our kittens. Good to know their sound.. sometimes one regret to not being a hunter..

A few minutes ago I heard an animal screaming that I thought might be a fox, but wasn't sure so did a google. This site turned up--and is just about exactly what I heard. I'm in northern Michigan in the woods, and have lived here for 30 years, and never heard that sound before! Talk about eerie!!

@MyBlaze09 - these are red foxes. Unfortunately, I've never heard any other species of fox make a call, so I cannot really compare.

Thank you for posting this. I was awakened at 130 in the morning last night to the "barking" sound. We had no idea what it was. I went outside and finally "saw" who was making that sound. I had NO idea what it was..totally freaked me out. Had I looked for this video last night I would have fell back asleep much quicker! All I kept thinking was.."What the hell WAS that???After searching through the internet for wild animals and the sounds they make I found this video! LOL...So thanks for posting!

@rhonda200874 Thanks for sharing!!! Dont know HOW you can live with that sound EVERY night..lol...but I guess you just get used to it after a while. I, on the other hand, grew up in the city, so this is NOT a sound I ever heard..nor did I ever even see a fox before that night! lol...havent seen or heard it since that night..and I have to say..Im pretty thankful. Its so cool that you live near those movie sets.

@superhero68 that is hilarious because that just happened to me last night.....the only thing is i've been hearing this "scream" for about 2 years and have never found out what it was, until last night when it was so close to my house, i looked out the window and there's a fox in the road....one of my neighbors warned me that there was a fox around.....never knew such a cute animal could make such a retched sound!

Are they like really dangerous to have in yr neighborhood n will they attak dogs or cats?? I heard one just before nd a dog barking...my cats r outside so ya.
AGUYWHOSBEDISSTOLEN 1 year ago
@AGUYWHOSBEDISSTOLEN - foxes are not what I'd class as dangerous animals, though all wildlife (even squirrels) should be treated with respect and not handled. They're far too small to be a risk to any dog bigger than a chihuahua, and are no threat to an adult cat. But your outdoor cats are definitely at risk from cars, feline HIV, garden poisons, dogs, and (depending where you live) potentially coyotes...

This comment has received too many negative votes show
@AGUYWHOSBEDISSTOLEN There have been a few stories in the British papers recently about a fox attacking two children in a school playground in broad daylight. Also, a few weeks before a fox made its way into a house, went upstairs and mauled a 2 year old girl in her crib whilst her parents were sat downstairs watching TV. They're becoming too brave around here.

That's not correct. There was one incident of a fox (thought to be a cub) biting two 9-month old young babies in a London house, but that's accepted to be a freak event. There was a separate case of a little boy being bitten when he reached under a shed to get a ball and accidentally startled the fox, which nipped him in defence, but so would any wild animal. By world standards, foxes in general are very easy wildlife to live with. We can live and let live without much trouble.

@Sittingfox It was probably rabies
KampferXeon 1 year ago
@mcfc90 A child is far more likely to be injured by a dog! If you knew anything about foxes you'd know they are very timid creatures and keep themselves to themselves. A human being injured by a fox is an exception rather than a norm.

I live in a built up area and we have had a fox here for years, last night I was woken by what I thought was kids, then thought some sort of ape (we dont have them in the UK!) but the pattern was like a dog barking I then saw it was the fox,

When I moved back in with my P's years ago.. the first time I ever heard this noise I swear a dog was being murdered.. Kept hearing it night after night.. Looked it up and found out it was a fox. I'm used to it by now.. but man, the noises they emit still creep me out and make me stop dead in my tracks.

I had a couple of those making those calls two nights ago and again last night when I was sleeping in my treehouse out in the woods. I had no idea what they were. It was extremely creepy, especially when they decided they wanted to be right in front of the treehouse.

I live in a town, but my house borders a hill that no one inhabits for miles. It has its fair share of wildlife. The calling sound in the beginning is SO CREEPY to hear at night. Not to mention hearing the fox hunt some of the feral cats around here.
sweeperchick 1 year ago
@sweeperchick - it's actually extremely rare, lightning-strike rare, for foxes to attack cats. They're not as big as they look; a big male cat weighs more than a fox and is much more muscular - and has deadly claws. There are many records of foxes being killed by pet cats, but the evidence for the reverse is very shaky. Coyotes, on the other hand, will definitely kill free-roaming cats.
Sittingfox 1 year ago
@Sittingfox - I guess I should say that there are a lot of feral cats (of all sizes) around my house, thanks to the guy who owns five abandoned barns across the street and doesn't take care of them. I have seen a fox run down our driveway, across the street, and into the barns looking for cats. Maybe it's after the kittens. But it's true I have also seen a tomcat chase the fox.
sweeperchick 1 year ago
@Sittingfox / What the heck kind of cats do you have? Foxes weigh in at up to 17 lbs, and the larger ones in Alaska/Canada can get up to 31 lbs.
A large house cat is only about 10 lbs.
Adak6881 1 year ago
@Adak6881 - the Alaska Dept of Fish and Game puts a red fox's weight at 10 - 15lb. In Britain, they average 13lb. A large cat like a Maine Coon can weigh 25lb. And they're built very differently; foxes are lean and light for leaping on things, whereas cats are much more muscled, and are armed with deadly retractable claws as well.
