The dog goes “woof” The cat goes “meow” The fox goes “AAAAAAAAAA”

explains the terrifying female screams i hear out in the woods

I heard a fox screaming when I was out running in the woods one autumn night. The screams came closer and closer to where I was. Once I saw it was just a fox I had to sit down for a bit. It was probably the most horrifying experience of my life.

Hearing this go off right under your open window at 3am, even when you know what it is, will make you jump right out of your skin. Gets me every time.

Ok cool so a woman ISNT being murdered in the woods behind my house. It’s one of these mfs

World: Foxes are sly creatures and don't make a lot of noise Foxes: AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Fox is using an “alarm bark” to tell the dog that humans are dangerous. Cute 😆

I actually believe this now, red foxes sound like a screaming Grandma.

Imagine going camping and hearing this, not knowing that it's the sound of a fox, and not a woman screaming...

there's no ring ding ding ding

I live in a small village in the UK, surrounded by countryside and am no stranger to foxes. We actually had a male and female living in thick undergrowth less than 20 metres from our house. I frequently heard noises but not that terrifying scream. She had 4 cubs and I watched the male go out to forage for food to bring back to the den for his family. This was such a delight to witness. Late last night I was putting my dog's leash on to take him for his last walk before bed. I heard that scream 5 times and became too scared to go out. It crossed my mind that it could be a fox but I'd never heard that chilling scream. I called my son who still lives at home to come with us and sure enough, it was standing at the end of our drive screaming. I love this video you have of the fox visiting your garden and playing with your dog. Adorable.💕💕🐾🐾🐾

Ladies and gentlemen, after many years of waiting, we have finally discovered what the fox says

Imagine you hear that sound in total darkness on a deep forest..

Let's be honest...we all searched this up

Literally had to search for this bc I’m currently hearing this sound outside of my window 😂 nice to know now!

I think fox trying to say "COME BACK!!" lol

Dog: Get tf away from me you cat on crack... Fox: *SCREAMS*

Dog: Hey hooman I found a friend! Fox: *Screaming noise intensifies*

The amount of time I used to hear this in my old house. I always thought that there was like someone genuinely screaming in the middle of the night. It would creep me out 🤣

My daughter was just freaking out from hearing this noise outside her window. Thanks for sharing this video and inadvertently calming my child down!

When your kid brings back his weird friend from school

"Copper, you're my best friend." "You're mine, too, Tod."

I don't know why but when the fox started screaming I started laughing 😂every time 🤣

Nothing sounds more beautiful in natures animals than the scream of a fox or a scream of a cougar... ❤️

Literally hear this outside my window every night

Foxes are such intelligent and humble animals. Foxes: *strange noises*

I still come back and watch this video like twice a week ever since I first saw it in 2011

Thanks for posting. I never heard this before, until I heard this exact sound in the middle of the night.

“The secret of the foooooox. Ancient mysteryyyy, what is your sounndd” Fox: *WROOAAAH*

ok so imagine it's 2am, you're sound asleep, and you hear this outside your window. That's me right now. That is a terrifying sound to wake up too.

Thank god. I’m alone in a cabin in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night, and I assumed what I heard was a fox, but I just had to check.

this shat the life out of me.out the back in the pitch dark,sounded like a demon from the pits of hell

When you realize this video is older than "what does the fox say"

Thats a Vixen Scream. Its said to be a maiting call. That fox wanted booty from the dog haha. The last two calls sounded like a warning bark tho like it got scared

All these years I thought the screaming next door was just a couple of kids messing around

Honestly it sounds like it can't decide whether to meow or bark so it just does both.

This video was very helpful to me when I was trying to identify the blood curdling scream coming from the woods when I was out with our dogs at night in our fenced-in yard. Thank you.

0:09 fox: im fast as fuck boiiii

Awww, look at them playing together! ❤️❤️

I can't help but think that fox's noises were cute as hell. Whoever posted this video has one gorgeous yard!

"What does the fox say"? Fox: *WROAH!*

it sound like human is screaming.. imagine if you camps in the deep wood at night.. and this odd sound you hear... wohh, it look like a lost spirit... scary....

I’ve heard it in real life and it is one scary bark and exceptionally loud. Once you realize it’s a Fox, it’s very cool.

That's it! Thanks for posting this. I woke up in the middle of the night from a fight between a big housecat and a fox apparently. It was dark and I couldn't see well, but the animal was about as big as a cat and made this exact sound. I wasn't thinking it couldn't be another cat.

Dog: *runs back inside* Fox: FRIEND! COME BACK! I WANNA PLAY STILL

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

Hands up for everyone who has called 911 to report screaming, only to realize it was just a fox 🙌

Thank u Ms. France for introducing us to the sound of Fox.

Literally just woke up to this sound echoing in the woods near my house for a solid 5 minutes and had to google it because it is 4am and it sounded like bloody murder.

Sonic,I think Tails wants you.

Thank you for this I couldn't tell what's been been screaming all night past few days.. even sounded like a little pig squel... Crazy

Excellent! Thanks for this!

That's an alarm bark. He's trying to tell the dog, "Get away from that freaky animal on two legs. It'll cut your balls off and make you chase frisbees. DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE BACON FLAVORED TREATS!!"

Dog is like: "I don't know what you are but get away from me. Gawd..."

This is a beautiful nature video thank you so much for sharing you have an amazing backyard by the way!

I was not ready for this

The fox was wanting to play with the dog, and screamed an alarm bark bc the fox probably thought you were a danger to the dog

Sounds like my wife when she yells at me “RYAAAN”

Great catch! Thank you for sharing!

He is desperately in love with the dog 😍

I took one step outside at 3 am and I heard this from 10 feet away. Scared the soul out of my body.

I just came back from a quick walk in the woods with my two dogs , it was totally dark and all of a sudden I heard that scream somewhere in the bushes on the left. I nearly pissed myself thought it was a child

Dog: BARK Cat: MEOW Fox: BEAOOEW

Dog: Turns around *Cat-Dog hybrid comes running from the woods*

The fox is like "NOOO! NOOO! Humans! Dangerous!" And the dog is like "naawwwww they feed me and scritch scratch me, comon in." and the fox is like "NOOO! NOO! It's a TRAP!"

Awww. He just wants to play.

Absolutely beautiful..

the real fox and the hound

Dog be like “I am EXTREMELY frustrated by this oversized squirrel!”

I heard screaming last night and thought it might be a person. I had to ask friends to get an idea what it was. It was this! Thank you.

this really helped me figure out what the horrifying shriek coming outside my house was just now! tysm 💀

Fox was like "give some food dammit!"

I WAS LAUGHING SO HARD WHEN THE FOX YELLED😂😂

Thank god, I have fox next to my house and never heard them before so when I heard these screams I thought it was a demon, I’ve never been more glad to know it’s a fox.

That Fox was like I'm Holla at that pooch. Dog was foxy.

God:Do You want a Cat or a Dog Us:Yes (If it’s been One Year Stop fucking Replying Like God That younger me that Commented this is gone)

actually, the fox befriended the dog, and when the dog ran off the fox screamed for him to come back: "NO!" "NOOO!"

I hear this a lot in my neighborhood and it sounded like a child in pain so this was very helpful 👍

A scream so loud they gotta put their own ears away.

You'd think foxes would have a cute little bark, but instead it's more of a lengthened bark. Like, "BA-A-A-A-A-AR!"

Ah, good to know that a damn WENDIGO isn't breaking into my house now.

Thank u for posting this… at about 4:30 this morning I heard this noise but constant and it scared me cause it sounded like my cat being attacked… If I didn’t see this video I would continue to think that❤

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS I thought la llorona or some shit done came to georgia when I heard it outside 😭

I heard screaming outside yesterday, I thought a woman was being assaulted. I look out the window and it's a Fox screaming 😑.

The fox actually says "It's called a hustle sweetheart.".

My chihuahua sounds just like this when the mail comes by

Fox says: COME OUT AND PLAAAAAY!

Fox: "Don't go with humans, come here and play with me "

what does the fox say.... WRAHHHH!

I grew up in the country and we didn’t know we had a bobcat in the area until we saw a fox chasing it literal wailing like it’s heart was broken. We later found out the bobcat had found the fox’s kits and killed them all. Most eerie sound I’ve ever heard…heart-wrenching…

It even sounds like between a bark and a meow. But it gets confused so it just screams

It's the "alarm bark." It likes the dog, but it's afraid of the human. Probably confused as to why the big, goofy looking fox would deliberately interact with the human.

Linkin Bark - Numb

This is amazing.

Just heard this outside. Confirmed my suspicion. Thanks.

LOL obviously FAKE Everyone knows that a fox goes “ring ding ding ding”

That explans the crackhead I'm hearing every night

Im living on a farm we have many foxes in the near. Its cool to hear them awnsering their own echo because of the hills

I cannot sleep... there are two foxes outside and now every dog in the neighbourhood has joined in.. oh and the bells as well. Lovely xD the sound of someone being brutally executed with an axe.

That scared the shit out of me when it screamed
