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.
“Alright, so a space werewolf, a Roman Catholic Cardinal, and a Decepticon Communications Officer all walk into a bar…”
New art meme idea for cool kids, from a cool kid (me). Draw your OC, (or AU design, or fursona, etc.) with characters that inspired their design or that you associate with them.
On the left is @bettsplendens’s Alzu, the flirty space werewolf? mercenary? (no one really knows what he is or what he does for a living). His expression and coloration are based off an Italian Wolf, and I mostly played his design by the ear (his should be longer) as he doesn’t really have a fixed design that I know of. He’s a charming and sweet dude with far too many teeth.
Center is my own design for Soundwave from Transformers Prime as a canine, A.K.A. Soundsnoot. He is mostly Belgian Groenendael with a whole mess of sighthound breeds mixed in. He is my best boy and the love of my life and so much fun to draw~! Sometimes he and Alzu’s paths cross and they go on dates, but he mostly sticks to himself and observes whatever’s going on at the moment.
On the right is @canisalbus‘s Machete. Boy howdy was this dude a big influence on the design of Soundsnoot. What an icon. I have no words for just how beautiful this man is. Also how much of a neurotic trash fire of a person he is. That too. In the (paraphrased) words of his creator, “Machete should not be in charge of anything, but someone put him there”.
Better stop flirting with the pretty sighthounds and put some pants on at least, Alzu, you godless heathen. Soundsnoot doesn’t mind, but Cardinal Machete might turn you over to the Inquisition where even you can’t charm your way out of.
In some long-overdue news hailing from Comic-Con International on Saturday, Warner Bros. revealed a sequel to Wonder Woman is officially on its release schedule. Gal Gadot will reprise her role as Diana Prince in the sequel to the most profitable movie yet from the DC Extended Universe.
