A fox will sometimes eat a dead fox and some foxes have killed other foxes to eat but usually this happens in harsh conditions.
In most cases a fox will leave a dead fox to decompose or for another animal to eat.
Foxes scream at night to attract a mate since most foxes are active mostly at night this is when you'll usually hear the foxes scream.
Foxes scream and bark to communicate with each other.
This becomes more common during mating season, which is at its peak in January.
The most common reason that foxes scream is to attract a mate and during the mating process.
Foxes are nocturnal, so this is when they are most active.

A Fox lives between 3 to 4 years in the wild and when in Captivity the Fox can live up to 14 years.
Foxes live a shorter lifespan in the wild than they do in Captivity.
Either the Fox starves or they get injured and die or they get killed by other animals in the wild making the Foxes lifespan shorter.
Areas that have more predators or less foraging foods can dramatically shorten a fox's life span.
Many foxes die of starvation and an average fox typically only makes 1 – 2 kills a week.
In his 2005 compendium, Longevity of Mammals in Captivity, Richard Weigl lists the oldest Red fox on record as being a mountain subspecies (Vulpes vulpes macroura) caught, in Utah, that arrived at Zoo Boise in Idaho during August 1985 at an estimated age of two years and four months; she was still alive in July 2004.
The red fox is the largest of the true foxes and one of the most widely distributed members of the order Carnivora, being present across the entire Northern Hemisphere including most of North America, Europe and Asia, plus parts of North Africa.
It is listed as least concern by the IUCN
