It meows like a cat with an extremely sore throat. Some call it a bark, but it absolutely is not.

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

It's more like a scream of terror

[-] remotelove@lemmy.ca 7 points 9 months ago

Yeah, not going to lie. The first time I heard one in the woods at night, it scared the shit out of me.

Is calling it a "meow with extreme vigor" a good compromise? Probably not and you are likey more accurate.

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Tbf in the woods even the squirrels are scary. Damn loud little pine cone throwing bastards.

[-] TheFriendlyDickhead@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

Someone has a history with squirrels.

The squirrels are on to us, Morty

I once went camping by myself (I'm a woman), and I thought someone was about to break into my tent to murder me. Nope, it was a beaver dragging branches nearby at night. Haven't gone camping by myself since.

So the answer to "what does the fox say" is actually "screams of absolute terror"? I think that would have improved the song.

[-] remotelove@lemmy.ca 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Yeah. That would be accurate.

This is a decent example (he wasn't fully committed, me thinks): https://youtube.com/shorts/vSHbYgibL9M?si=LEvooLKAerz1axs_

I played that out loud and my small dachshund damn near fell off the bed.

[-] remotelove@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

See what we mean? Even other dogs don't know what the hell is going on with that noise.

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Yeah, it's very... unique. It sounds like it hurts them to make the sound. Basically the sound I imagine coming from this painting:

isn't the opposite? it look more like a cat them dog

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago

I think it's based on the fact that it's a canine, thus dog hardware. But I don't disagree with you.

[-] Eevuljeeneuss@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

The opposite is a hyena. They are dog software running on cat hardware.
