Oh wow, I’ve actually not heard/seen many recordings of red foxes making these kinds of growl-like vocalisations they are capable of before. Really fascinating footage!
A new (and sadly mangy) fox turned up last night and The Unit was not happy. Managed to capture one of the few vocalisations I've never got on camera before: a growl!
Red foxes don't really growl in the way dogs and wolves do, but an unhappy fox will occasionally make a guttural rumbling sound that's basically the fox equivalent of a growl. It's one of the rarer fox vocalisations to hear so pretty happy to have got it on camera!
This is also quite an interesting piece of footage as the other fox is female and it's pretty uncommon for male foxes to show aggression/hostility towards females. I wonder if it's because she has mange as I have noticed foxes can be more hostile towards mangy ones to try and drive them away.
