Does a fox make a screaming sound?

We have mountain lions and I would be afraid that it would draw in a real one thinking someone invaded its territory.

screech owls have a horrible screaming sound. They wake me out of a sound sleep all the time.

Ok, I listened to the sounds bites of a fox and it sounds a lot like the one they have labeled "territorial" sound. Didn't sound like a Horned Owl, we don't have Fisher Cats, and it's for sure not a "cat" of any kind big or small. It's got to be the fox. I just always assumed that they would sound more like a dog. But yes someone mentioned dinosaur like sounds, this would fit that. The little booger

A fox is related closer to a cat than a K9. They pretty much are a feline, retractable claws and elliptical eyes.

It's hard to describe, it can sounds like a screaming/yipping sound that makes your skin crawl. A lot of times it will sound a lot closer than what they are simply because they are so loud.

I had a den of fox a couple of years ago about 500' from the house and they kept me awake half the night with the screams. Drove me crazy! Thankfully they all eventually left and I had no more wild rabbits or anything else left by the time they were done!

What a post! Screaming snakes, bear pee, and mountain lions!

My dogs once cornered a mink, and it was hiding behind a wooden bear statue I have on my porch. The scream was so loud, I ran out and thought something really big was out there. All I found was this tiny mink screaming. So loud does not always mean big.
