I thought foxes were great until they started screaming (they use echolocation) all night outside my window (I live in a forest). Imagine a pug or other small, vocal dog, but constantly screaming at the top of its lungs. It's one of the most awful sounds you will ever hear.

Now, I think foxes suck.

They still wander around sometimes in our farms and the nearby forest. They are terrifying if you're alone and they are in numbers.

I think you're confusing foxes with Flying Foxes (a type of bat). Foxes have a special membrane in their eye to enable them to see in incredibly low-light environments.

Typically when you hear foxes making their awful noise it's them just having sex (which is incredibly rough and usually forced). Sometimes though they're just calling to each other.
