How do you sleep/deal with the reports of hellish screaming in the night?

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 20 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Coyotes do hellish screaming, these guys sound like someone aggressively clearing their throat.

You've never heard a fox then. They sound like a little girl being murdered. It's horrible.

I have two species of foxes that I regularly shoo off my porch. They go “HhhhuuuuYak!”

I had foxes where I lived before, and some nights you'd just hear this horrible scream. It would always startle me, and there was this deep mental effect that made it so I could never get used to it. They legitimately sounded exactly how I imagine a young girl being stabbed would sound.

They scream during mating season, so you may not have heard it. It is not something they run around doing regularly.

The same way i respond to reports of cackling and dancing naked.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

In a celebratory manner?

[–] cassandrafatigue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

More cackling and dancing naked. Not sure if that counts.
