Fox sounds and vocals
Animal Sounds and Vocals
Animals aren’t like human beings – they can’t speak or laugh but have found other ways of communicating between each other. Animals might not be able to speak or master advanced language techniques, but they certainly have other ways of communicating. There are plenty of examples how different species of animals communicate with humans and/or animals – here are a few: Cats rub against objects to mark them with their scent, ants use pheromone trails to follow each other and horses kick other horses to establish dominance.
A major part of the world knows what sounds a typical animal makes i.e dog, cat, mouse, chicken, cow etc. What isn’t taken into much deeper thought is what sounds do forest animals make? What does the fox actually say? This is Google’s number one search to do with animals and sounds. It’s a great mystery and when you try and think of their sound – it’s pretty much impossible to imagine it, as they’re very quiet animals and rather prefer to be sly. Here are examples of the different types of sounds a fox is able to make in different situations: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6NuhlibHsM (Different fox calls) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk1mAd77Hr4 (Fox scream) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7tThIC42xQ (Kevie singing a little song)
When you hear those screams and growls you would not expect it to be a fox. Studies have shown that around 37 species of foxes exist of which only 12 species actually belong to the Vulpes genus of a “true fox”. Pretty much 95% of these make the same vocal sound. The scream-y howl is most often heard during the breeding season, in the springtime. It is...horrible. A shrill, hoarse scream of anguish, it sounds more than anything like a human baby undergoing some kind of physical torture. It's thought that this call is used by vixens (female foxes) to lure male
