The animal that sounds like a human screaming is the red fox.

Red Foxes are known for screaming like a human.

When breeding season rolls around, foxes tend to get a bit mouthy – and what comes out sounds eerily human.

This is what the fox says: a high-pitched "YAAGGAGHH" rivalled only by the screams of the almighty marmot.

The cries of the red fox can sound surprisingly similar to a human in distress.

Males give a short "scream" in aggression, and females "shriek" as a mating call.

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.

Red foxes can be found throughout the continental United States from Alaska to Florida.

The smallest population is in the Southwest, where it is very rare to see a red fox.

Red foxes like open areas in woodlands, rural and suburban neighborhoods, wetlands, and brushy fields.

Foxes can be friendly and are not a threat to humans.

However, foxes are wild animals, they are unpredictable and will always revert to their wild nature in a situation where they feel threatened.

Even if a fox appears to be friendly, you should not approach it up close.
