Red Fox Barking

[@Tiffany1Nicole]

That's it! That's the sound I've been hearing in my backyard at night. Thank you for helping me finally identify the animal.

[@NomadicWoodsman]

Wonderful!

[@Robert-jx8nr]

What’s this noise mean

[@cfneal1459]

@@Robert-jx8nr good question, Robert -- what's the answer, @NordicWoodsman?

[@cfneal1459]

Yes, it's KINDA like barking sound I'm searching for, but ... I live in the suburbs, just on the boundary line between the city of Huntington & county of Cabell, here in western West Virginia. Whilst smoking the proverbial day's last cigarette, about 4 AM or thereabouts, my flashlight startled a night critter, prancing along the snowy yard, at roadside, across the street. He scurried away quickly, same direction as headed & w/o making a sound. His movements were smooth & fast. Before I could even finished the one cigarette, I heard -- "YAP! YAP, YAP!"-YAPPING, as I often hear from my neighbors small dogs. Fearing they might have found themselves in danger, I shined my flashlight around, but did't see anything. Then, more "YAP! YAP-YAPPING" -- but, this time, sounding as if BEHIND the houses across the street. THEN, suddenly, there he was -- RACING DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, ""YAP!" ... "YAP, YAP"... YAPPING occasionally, as he raced away. All I could see was a light-haired, fluffy-tailed, dog-sized critter. And that's how I came to be HERE. Thanks for reading.

[@williamramsay7645]

Came here to find out what noise scared the shit out of me in the garden after watching IT Chapter 2. Safe to say I will sleep now

[@Bro-cx2jc]

Fox: WE ALL BARK DOWN HERE, WILLIE! AND WHEN YOU'RE HERE WITH US, YOU'LL BE BARKIN' TOO!!!

[@potatothorn]

WOW. never seen more than one fox at a time, and Never heard them bark that is awesome

[@NomadicWoodsman]

I know I was so surprised to see them at sunrise all together. I would of liked to get some better footage but they disappeared pretty fast after this. I really appreciate the comment ! :)

[@potatothorn]

Nomadic Woodsman getting any at all is amazing ive only seen them run by, maybe they stop and look for a second.

[@char8977]

We always have two fighting over the daily leftovers out the front, it's a scary scream always thought it was a screeching owl till they got closer as I was leaving the food closer and closer to the house, looked out to see what the noise was and see 2 red foxes on their hind legs and having a crazy paw fight. Never thought to film them will the next time!

[@HalfAnd_Half]

I watched a video of mated foxes hunting together before having children After they did the male would then continue hunting on his own

So that's what barked outside my window just now and nearly gave me a heart attack at 5am LOL! Thanks for this. Wasn't an unholy dog after all :)

[@MrRosco]

​@@Nasi961.I heard this sound extremely close to me while in my backyard it scares the shit out of me I thought the same thing too cause it sounded almost exactly like a dog barking but higher pitch

[@chrisinedison]

I am sooo glad I found this! That’s the creepy sound I’ve been hearing at night. It freaked me out one night when I was down at my chicken coop making sure I had put the lock on the run. I’m thankful it’s fully enclosed.

[@NomadicWoodsman]

Oh wow! Glad this helped. I was lucky to film this right place at right time.

[@r.a.1626]

Thank you for this! It’s 3:08am right now. Just heard barking of what I thought was a puppy, but I remembered seeing a fox a week before. Sure enough, it sounded like this! Was able to record the sound, but it was pitch black. Ok, now back to bed.

[@jeannie1renee2]

It does sound like a pup in distress. The first time I heard this down behind my neighbor's, it was late at night. There is nothing but open cow pasture behind my neighbor's, so I knew it wasn't a pup. After I started counting it called thirteen times in row--just one after another. We have Coyotes in the area, but I'd never heard them call like this. I came in the house and looked up Fox calls and sure enough, that's what I heard.

[@kanromusic]

I like how 2 of them is just staring into your soul

[@JohnSapato]

In the exact same pose too xD

[@PeterNordBushcraft]

I have heard a gray fox or coyote bark like that. I went outside with my flash light shined it on his eyes and it continued to "bark". I thought it was a coyote because it was big. It makes your spine tingle and the hair on your back raises with primal fear in person. It is quite scary.

[@d3734]

Not scary when you can shoot it where it stands. Humans are the most dangerous predator in the animal kingdom. Don’t be scared, get a gun and make it scared, or dead. I do it all the time.

This sound is known as alarm barking. Foxes do it to alert foxes of potential predators nearby.

[@toki4686]

Exactlyy, i was fucking terrified when i first heard it, now i know its just a fox, thank god

[@jeffschultz732]

I have a special quiet place. I spend about 1-2 hours very each morning before going to work. I arrive at 3am. Here, I hear Barred Owls, Screech Owls, Coyotes, and one of my favorite sounds, "barking" Red Fox...! It is the best part of my day.

[@amandagriffin1751]

You sound just like me. People think I am crazy for spending so much time outside in the dark when I have work the next day just sitting there listening to and watching the owls, foxes, raccoons, flying squirrels, coyotes and whoever else crosses our path. That's the joy of owning so many acres outside the big city where you can have that peace and solitude that heals your soul.

Every night I hear this pretty much. Sometimes sounds like almost in the garden below. I’ve never seen them though from my bedroom. Although always see same two roaming the streets near my flat in Hove. Noisy buggers, but humans leave so much rubbish around they going to be around 😊 Part of life & they are pretty cool animals.

[@GrumpaGladstone1809]

The first few calls when you were woken up are a great match with the calls in {for example) the Red Fox Barking video from Nomadic Woodsman here on KZbin. I would make a completely unexpert judgement and say you were being warned off by a fox. The photo of the black animal, though unclear, is on the face of it very persuasive. The paw prints were great finds. I really liked the video, keep on rocking on!!!

[@GrumpaGladstone1809]

....LOL, loks like I commented on the wrong video....anyway, I like this one too :)

They know you're there. They have the best hearing of canids, and their sense of smell is far better than humans. They'd smell and hear you before you even notice them.

I’ve been camping with my cat (food in the tent) and I’ve heard this, very, close to my tent. They won’t back up, too far, when I get up and growl. They usually run away at the sound of metal clanging, but they didn’t stay nearby and come back, after the threat is gone. Very scary when I didn’t know what it was.

This morning my dogs wanted to go potty RIDICULOUSLY early (3:30am) and while on my property behind the house, I heard THAT noise. Quite loud. Probably 1 Fox alerting the others my dogs are out. My dogs are various types of terriers, big and small, and are very breed like hunters. So I’m sure the foxes are like “oooop! We are OUT” every time my snarfers come outside.
