The Elites don't want you to know this but the foxes in the city are free. You can take them home. I have 458 foxes.

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

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months 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 2 months ago (1 children)

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

It’s not chubby, it just has its winter coat on. You can tell by how ridiculously fluffy that tail is. They start looking like big chonks in winter but it’s all a lie.

Oh man, his friends will never let him live this down

What a strange pupper

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why is he so fat? Is she feeding him in a careless manner?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

As ickplant pointed out, that's just winter coat fluffiness, as evidenced by the tail being super puffy too 😁🥰

Daaaaaaam, no wonder they used to be turned into scarves
