#What Sound Does A Fox Really Make? A music video from a Norwegian duo called Ylvis is primed to as the kids marketers say go viral
Bà ¥rd Ylvisã Â¥ker and Vegard Ylvisã Â¥ker the folks behind Ylvis describe the vocalizations of various common animals from cats to dogs to ducks to cows
and then in the pre-chorus wonder what sound the fox makes. The chorus then suggests a few possibilities like Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding and Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow.
and also watch lots of videos of foxes while we do it. So! In Norway where Ylvis is from there are two species of fox:
the arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) and the red fox (Vulpes vulpes. Here in the States we have a few others like the gray fox and the kit fox.
All species of fox have a pretty wide variety of vocalizations just as dogs and cats Do it's simple to reduce say a dog's vocalizations to bark
but as any owner knows dogs can yelp whine howl growl and make all kinds of other sounds.
Foxes aren't quite as varied in their vocalizations as dogs but they're still capable of making lots of different sounds.
The red fox which is the most common species of fox worldwide (and almost certainly the fox variety Ylvis is talking about;
there are only about 120 arctic foxes left in Norway) is highly vocal. Foxes are canids like dogs
and wolves but are not closely related to either; in fact they hunt more like cats with a low-to-the-ground stalking posture
and bite hard with sharp thin teeth to kill prey (dogs and wolves tend to have duller larger teeth and use a clamp and shake method to kill).
In vocalizations too foxes aren't entirely like dogs. The most commonly heard red fox vocalizations are a quick series of barks and a scream-y variation on a howl.
All fox vocalizations are pitched higher than dog vocalizations partly because foxes are much smaller. The barks are a sort of ow-wow-wow-wow but very high-pitched almost yippy.
It's commonly mistaken for an owl hooting. That bark sequence is thought to be an identification system;
studies indicate that foxes can tell each other apart by this call. The scream-y howl is heard most often during the breeding season in the springtime.
It is...horrible. A shrill hoarse scream of anguish it sounds more than anything like a human baby undergoing some kind of physical torture.
It's thought that this call is used by vixens (female foxes) to lure male foxes to them for mating though males have been found to make this sound occasionally as well.
The bark and scream and very loud so they're often heard but most other fox vocalizations are quiet
and used for communication between individuals in close proximity. The most unusual is called gekkering; it's a guttural chattering with occasional yelps and howls like an ack-ack-ack-ackawoooo-ack-ack-ack.
Gekkering is heard amongst adults in aggressive encounters (of which there are many; red foxes are highly territorial) and also amongst young kits playing
(or play-fighting). There's also the alarm call which up close sounds like a cough but from afar sounds like a sharp bark and is used mostly by fox parents to alert youngsters to danger.
Red foxes unlike other familiar canids like the gray wolf and coyote do not form packs. When kits are young they
and the mother may form a small family unit but in general foxes are solitary. Still they sometimes inhabit the same territory
and so have a social hierarchy which requires communication. Submissive foxes when greeting dominant foxes will sometimes emit piercing whines
which can elevate in volume and become shrieks. Foxes communicate with kits largely with body gestures
but also make huffing and coughing noises and sometimes brief clucks like a casual short form of gekkering.
That's what sound the fox makes! But equally interesting is why most people don't know what sound the fox makes.
It's a widespread enormously successful and adaptive species living worldwide in all sorts of climates in forests on mountains in suburbs and sometimes even cities.
Americans and Europeans are very familiar with the red fox. And unlike say a raccoon it's a highly vocal animal.
So how come we have no idea what it sounds like? One major reason is that it's a wild animal.
The children's toys that teach the sounds of animals focus on domestic animals mostly livestock. Pig cow sheep rooster duck horse--these are farm animals
which in America's collective agrarian past were members of the household. You'll notice that on this toy you won't see any of the most common North american wild animals--no raccoons no coyotes no deer no robins no hawks and no foxes.
What sound does the deer make? Hell if I know. Another reason might be that fox noises are mistaken easily for other animals.
The common yow-wow-wow-wow sounds more like an owl than a canid and the scream-howl sounds less like a fox than the soundtrack to a nightmare.
And foxes are nocturnal hunters which means we're asleep when they're making most of their noises.
Then there's the other problem. Foxes are common and cute they feature in myths and we have gone to extreme lengths to make them our pets
but the noises they make are sort of...awful. The red fox does not have a mellifluous voice;
even when it's happy it mostly sounds like it's being strangled. It would be awkward to teach your young child that the cow goes moo the frog goes croak
and the fox goes YAAGGAGHHGHHHHHHAHHHH!!!But! Now you know. The fox goes yow-wow-wow ack-ack-ackawoo-ack and YAAGGAGHHGHHHHHHAHHHH!!!

#The World's Fastest Dog Vs. The World's Fastest Cat Video The cheetah the world's fastest land animal can race up to 75 mph for short bursts.
The greyhound is the fastest canid and the second-fastest land animal with a peak speed of about 43 mph.
and greyhounds are very very different animals they've independently evolved to have very similar running styles.
This is the natural running style of dogs cats and some ungulates like deer and elk but different than that of horses
while cheetahs and greyhounds are very very different animals they've independently evolved...to clarify...
are greyhounds a naturally selected evolved species or are bred they selectively breed of dog? I thought the second fastest land animal was the pronghorn antelopethe pronghorn is the second fastest land animal
and the African wild dog is the fastest canid. Unless you are referring to rate of acceleration...To be pedantic its not even the 3rd fastest land animal.
After the Pronghorn antelope the Blue Wildebeest Lion Springbok Grant's Gazelle Tohomson's Gazelle and even the Quarter horse have all been clocked faster than 43 mph...
I am under the impression that the Saluki is actually as fast or faster than a Greyhound.
A Greyhound is a sprinter-good for short distances. A Saluki is used to hunt Gazelle and is good for distance.
I believe they are the most ancient dog breed and not manmade-as is the Greyhound.
They also have a spine like a Cheetah. It would be MOST interesting to time a Saluki for distance
and running style compared to a Cheetah. I think the results would be much more impressive.
Would anyone be up to prove a point and see if this is true or not? Just curious!
I can tell you the dog looks a lot scarier when he's chasing you. The dog appears much better armed
when it actually gets there. I didn't get to hear the audio but did they address why the greyhound bobs his head?
Almost looks like he's swinging it like a weight to propel himself faster. The cheetah doesn't do that.
The Greyhound is the fastest sprinter but the Saluki wins over a longer course. Afghans Salukis and Borzois were used to hunt tigers.
They hunted as male female pairs. The female moved in and as the tiger lunged exposing its jugular the male attacked d

Yet Another Reason Not To Shoot Yellowstone Wolveseven though every respectable regulatory service says shooting wolves in
and around Yellowstone national park is bad for everyone involved wolves are still being shot. Well add one more paper to the pile:
a new study published in the Journal of Animal Ecology finds that the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone has had a positive effect on the population of...
shooting wolves is like pulling out a piece of an enormous Jenga game. Some parts seem unaffected some parts are balanced distinctly less
This study looks at how the wolf affects the ecosystem as a whole and as we thought wolves are an essential part of the health of Yellowstone.
The iconic endangered-in-the-U s. grizzly bear relies on lots of fruit especially berries when preparing for its winter hibernation.
That problem says the study can be attributed to the lack of wolves in Yellowstone: wolves typically prey on the abundant elk herds in the park.
Elk eat berries just like the bears do. But without wolves the elk population has exploded
which means there's hardly any berries left for the bears. So the bears aren't as well fed
and the ranchers shoot bears or wolves or whatever else they feel like because Wyoming does not know
But the reintroduction of wolves the study finds has had marked a improvement on that entire system. The researchers from Oregon State university and Washington state University analyzed grizzly bear scat and found that the percentage of berries in the scat has doubled since the reintroduction of the wolves.
Turns out the two most iconic animals of Yellowstone depend on each other in more ways than we thought. via Physorg...
We stopped exterminating wolves and a host of other species in the U s a long time ago.
Allowing hunters to purchase licenses to hunt a limited number of wolves is called wildlife management.
and Wildlife Service page on Grey Wolves you so helpfully provided: Long-term the Service expects the entire NRM population to maintain a long-term average of around 1000 wolves.
These wolves represent a 400-mile southern range extension of a vast contiguous wolf population that numbers over 12000 wolves in western Canada and about 65000 wolves across all of Canada and Alaska.
The Service and our partners will monitor wolves in the region for at least 5 years to ensure that the population s recovered status is compromised not
and if relisting is warranted ever we will make prompt use of the Act s emergency listing provisions.
Unfortunately in the name of'saving the wolves'you alienate the people you most need on your side to help'save the wolves
I now thanks to you support wanton murder of wolves in Wyoming. Yup you're disregard for all things scientific and logical annoyed me that bad.
Sorry wolves. I genuinely don't understand how a scientific magazine can publish an article this biased...
The wolf hunting is being managed by the Fish Wildlife and Parks department there which I have worked at.
It is a very competent agency with many educated biologists who have done extensive research on the wolf population...
There are reasons to control the population by shooting wolves and despite the fact wolf hunting has been possible for many years the population is still thriving.
This article is garbage with the bias so pathetically unsupported that its own links contradict the article.

Cats and dogs are not grain eaters by choice Moeller is saying. So our task is to find ways to entice them to eat enough for it to be nutritionally sufficient.
If your dog is happy and healthy who cares? Must be doing something wrong I've fed all of my dogs kibble and not the expensive organic scientific stuff either.
They have lived long healthy lives. Healthy enough that when I have to change vets they always comment on my pets'condition

and some 300 other dogs and cats came from before they'resided'in a lab cage at this facility
If you feed a 90lb. dog 3 cups of cheap kibble twice a day along with canned food you could do the same job with just 2 cups of premium kibble twice a day with no canned food at all.
The only downside is that your dog will be more energetic. I can change my cats'food any time

Hence we all feed our dogs Cheerios with beef broth sprayed On it's for our convenience not for the dog's benefit.

and making it so the dogs WANT TO eat it doesn't seem fair. It's called capitalism they are making a product to sell people people want it to be cheap

Dogs are a great example. I don't know of any other type of animal that can have such a diverse set of traits within the same species. The record low for a full grown chihuahua is 7 ounces (just over half a pound.
It's not unusual for a mastiff to get into the 200 pound range. Meaning the mastiff weighs more than 350 times as much as the chihuahua.
To relate this to chickens it would be like having an 8 pound fryer and 1. 4 ton roaster) Still if you have a very large stool
(or very deep ditch) the two dogs could interbreed even though they have been separated geologically for a long time and have been bred to be distinct.

#Can I Have A Pet Fox? Do a Youtube search for pretty much any smallish animal you can think of
Any feline any canid any mustelid (weasel) any procyonid (raccoon) any non-bonkers primate (baboons which are completely terrifying are exempt.
In 1959 a Soviet geneticist named Dmitry K. Belyaev began somewhat secretively experimenting with breeding domesticated foxes.
More than five decades thousands of foxes and one collapse of the Soviet union later the program continues at The Institute of Cytology and Genetics at Novosibirsk Siberia.
foxes are adorable and we want to hug them and we want them to like it.
But domesticated foxes which can only be found at that Siberian facility are not horrible pets.
but if you want a pet fox you can have a pet fox. All you need is $8000 and the approval of Kay Fedewa the exclusive importer of domesticated foxes in the US.
Domestication is not like taming. You can tame many wild animals so they won't try to kill you by raising them from birth but that's just learned behavior;
The Institute picked foxes on which to experiment for a few reasons. They're canids like dogs
so it would be easy to compare them to a domesticated species but they're not particularly closely related to dogs so there's enough separation to see how forced domestication affects a new species. Also these foxes were already tame--they were picked up from fur farms in Siberia
so they had a jumpstart in adjusting to humans. But theoretically you could domesticate just about any wild animal:
(and later Russian) study out there in Siberia did breed eventually a domesticated silver fox (read: a red fox with silver fur) that's pretty close to our dream fox.
It loves and craves attention from people it'll lick your face it'll cuddle with you it'll wag its giant puffy tail
Wild foxes will not do this; they will either run away from you or attempt to bite your face off.
Tame foxes may not flee or attack but they also won't cuddle. These domesticated foxes on the other hand have between 30 and 35 generations of selective breeding behind them with careful monitoring to ensure a lack of inbreeding
and they're not even close to wild--in fact they probably wouldn't survive in the wild.
The animals developed different coat patterns floppier ears tails that curled over their backs--totally unknown in wild foxes.
When we tried to breed a fox that would act more like a dog we ended up with a fox that looked more like a dog.
But they're not as easy to acquire as a dog. For a brief time a company called Sibfox was selling foxes bred at the Siberian lab. They were selling for about $6000
but it's not clear that anyone ever actually received one of these foxes. The Daily reported that two foxes that actually shipped to the States ended up confiscated at the US border
and shipped to the Austin Zoo and Animal Sanctuary where they are doing wonderfully. Apparently these foxes were kept in dog kennels
which is improper and weren't fed or watered properly--by all accounts the Sibfox people were licensed not
and were inexperienced at importing exotic animals. The only upside is that the animals survived the journey from Russia.
Until now Sibfox was the closest anyone in the US had gotten to receiving a domesticated fox.
Then there are breeders like Tiny Tracks Exotic Animals located outside of Fort wayne Indiana specializing in several varieties of fox (red fox gray fox and arctic fox) as well as supposedly tame raccoons skunks and coatis
Want a pet arctic fox? That'll run you $600. Red foxes are a little cheaper at $400.
That's cheaper than a skunk ($450) and waaaay cheaper than something more exotic like a kinkajou which runs anywhere from $1200 to $3000.
For comparison a purebred Siberian husky can run you anywhere from $400 to $2000 depending on its breeding and the reputation of the breeder.
But none of these foxes the ones that cost a few hundred dollars are domesticated. They are wild foxes.
Wild foxes are not pets; they are wild animals. The word tame means essentially nothing here--it mostly means nice
when it's a baby. The foxes from Siberia are pets. Foxes from Indiana? Wild.
(Tiny Tracks repeatedly did not respond to requests for comment; Kay Fedewa described the people who run it as not very nice people really quite rude even to the people they're selling animals to.
Indiana is something of a promised land for exotic pet farms and owners a libertarian wonderland where for a mere ten-dollar processing fee you can have a pet grizzly bear.
Class 2 includes foxes beavers skunks raccoons coyotes and weasels. Class 3 includes venomous reptiles and all species of bear big cat and wolf.
All three classes are legal! In fact the only thing that separates Class 3 animals which are banned pretty much everywhere else is that a letter is sent to the hopeful leopard-owner's neighbors.
Foxes are only legal in a handful of states. This is a pretty good guide. In some the laws are a little flexible;
in Michigan where Fedewa lives you can have only a native species meaning the various colors of red fox.
The grey fox which is a totally different species more commonly found in the western and southern states is allowed not nor is the arctic or fennec fox.
A few states simply ban taking foxes from the wild. But the laws are often vague and open to interpretation
which can lead to trouble for fox owners who may or may not be in violation.
This story was covered in a PBS special called Dogs Decoded about canine DNA and domestication.
They were using these foxes as an example of how domestication can actually change the physical traits of these animals such as shorter snouts floppy ears and more expressive eyes.
Foxes are awesome! The work done to make more tame fox's were not in any way an attempt to make a pet.
They were to be used as animals for the fur trade. Wild animals would be tested to see which ones tended to be less wild
lucky for the fox) All of this is on a PBS show. Who the heck has $8000 for a pet fox?
I mean seriously. I have to wonder about the domestication project. What exactly happens to all of the non chosen ones?
and sure enough that's because it was in Scientific American in 2010. blogs. scientificamerican. com/guest-blog/2010/09/06/mans-new-best-friend-a-forgotten-russian-experiment-in-fox-domesticationand the great thing about it their version

Help Stop Fox and Coyote Hunt Pens. Please read and pass on the more people who know the facts the better. o-called foxhound training facilities
or fox pens as they are known more commonly are parcels of land with a minimum size of 100 acres
which are fenced entirely to create an escape-proof enclosure into which foxes are released ostensibly for the purposes of training foxhounds to follow the scent of foxes
and pursue this quarry. Foxes are live-trapped from the wild within a 50-mile radius of the facility and stocked into these enclosures at densities determined by the owners.
Then for a fee paid to the fox pen operator hounds are allowed inside the facility to pursue these foxes.
While owners and advocates of these facilities contend that the foxes are harmed not by this confinement
and pursuit the fact that approximately 4000 foxes have been introduced to fewer than 40 such facilities in the last few years seems to contradict such statements.
