This is the blood curdling screeching one of our followers heard night in the woods outside his house. He said the video doesn’t do it just justice, it sounds much worse in real life. After doing research, they think it is a fisher cat, a ferocious weasel like predator that can attack small pets. Needless to say, he says he is very worried about our small dogs being outside now!
Difference between a FisherCat Scream and Red Fox Sound
The user who submitted this video thinks it may be a fisher cat but after listening to it, it almost sounds like a dog or a fox bark. Some of our readers say the Red Fox Scream is often mistaken for a fisher at scream. What do you think? Is this video below a fisher or Red Fox Sounds?
In PA, no fisher cats. here in SE PA near Philly..have heard of em though. We have grey and red foxes….have heard that scream in the night…not usually wee hours but for sure have to think twice…is that a bloody murder I am hearing?
sounds like a fox to me…
We only have red foxes in Philly and the surrounding subarbs. As far as I’m aware, gray foxes don’t roam ’round these parts. We do have coyotes, though.
