What the ever loving fuck?

Why do they sound like someone’s vehicle has a fucked ignition?

Did someone flood these foxes engines?

^^^ exactly my thoughts

fun fact! red foxes make this sound when they have meet their perfect mate or soul mate would you have it! so basically they’re just screaming for all the other red foxes that they have found their love and for all the others to fuck off

^ That’s completely incorrect! That sound is called ‘gekkering’ and indicates an aggressive encounter. Another post suggested this is probably a territorial dispute. These vocalizations are intended to de-escalate the encounter by making one of the foxes back off before the interaction becomes violent. Foxes, so far as I am aware, don’t have any kind of soul-mate announcement cry. They also don’t have soul mates. They form mated pairs and family groups like wolves and if one of the mated pair dies they mate again fairly quickly. 

Here’s another video of what appears to be the same two foxes, taken at the 

Zao Fox Village near Shiroishi, Japan. You can see them scuffling with each other before they begin gekkering.
