Red Foxes can make many different sounds. Most of them sound as if a torturing scream. Here is a website with all different kind of screams, calls, sounds, etc. that Foxes make;;
http://www.angelfire.com/ar2/thefoxden/sounds.htmlThe past few nights by my house, in New Jersey, USA, we've been hearing screams and they were scary. I had saw a Red Fox walk past my house on the day before. That night we heard some screeches and expected it to be the fox. My sister was in her room trying to fall asleep the next night and opened her window to let some air in when she heard the screeches. She freaked out and ran upstairs. It can be very creepy. Hope I Helped. (: ~It's not a very scientific answer, but doesn't it seem obvious that GOD made them?!
Why do foxes get called cats or dogs?
Yes. Foxes prefer to sneak around and hunt at night like cats do. But they have the same pointed muzzle of common dogs and the same sort of body shape. See the alikeness? That dog may have flat ears and the fox pointy but lots of dogs have pointy ears to, and bushy tails like the fox.
Excellent low-light vision. Visual acuity good to 90M with just starlight on a moonless night. At greater ranges, acuity falls off. Eyes have a faster recovery time, meaning that the lights (especially flourescent and mercury vapour) that run on 60Hz (120 pulses/sec) which look steady to a human eye will flicker to the vulpine eye.
No, they cannot be trained as house pets. While native foxes, if obtained at a very early age, can become quite docile and affectionate, this behavior can take a sudden turn during the mating season and the fox, especially a male, can become quite irritable and snappy. Foxes are also very territorial and will mark their new territory (the inside of your home) with an unpleasant, odiferous liquid that will stain furniture and is difficult to remove. They are also not amenable to potty training. As a caretaker for a local wildlife rescue group I have had first hand experience with this. Foxes should remain wild and not taken as pets. It is illegal in many locations.
Are fox litters called kits or pups?
The average litter is about six kits, but they can have up to a dozen.
No, foxes arent dangerous but if a nosy person tries to get close to their den they will growl, snarl and bark at you. They will also try to lead you away from the den, so I think humans should leave foxes alone.

Can foxes get along with cats outside?
Yes they can do. Although it is not common practice as they are naturally relatively peaceful animals they do. I had a fox come in through my cat's cat flap and make itsef at home at 4 in the morning. Thankfully I heard it and hustled it out of my house. Their urine reeks and takes forever to remove..so beware
How do red foxes get their food?
The red fox primarily feeds on small rodents like voles, mice, ground squirrels, hamsters, gerbils, woodchucks, pocket gophers and deer mice. Secondary prey species include birds leporids, porcupines, raccoons, opossums, reptiles, insects, other invertebrates and flotsam (marine mammals, fish and echinoderms). On very rare occasions, foxes may attack young or small ungulates. Red foxes readily eat plant material, and in some areas fruit can amount to 100% of their diet in autumn. Commonly consumed fruits include blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, cherries, persimmons, mulberries, apples, plums, grapes, and acorns. Other plant material includes grasses, sedges and tubers.

How does the size of a fox's ear help it maintain body temperature?
The larger their ear is, the more heat will escape their body and they'll become cooler. A desert fox lives in hot climates, so it has large ears. An arctic fox has small ears, so it would have less heat escaping its body.
How many times does a fox eat a day?

Foxes don't really eat plants, however they may feed on berries.
