I’ve never heard happy sound quite like that!! So excited!!

Wierd. It looks happy but sounds terrified. Sugar gliders and koalas are also prone to sound like abominations.

he works for an animal preserve,as per his youtube channel, so i hardly think he’s abusing the fox. if you’ve ever heard a fox in the wild,regardless of breed, their bark normally sounds like people screaming while getting stabbed

still want one

Fennecs are a very vocal animal. o.o

Ok people, scared animals don’t lay on their backs, show their tummy, and wag their tails. Get over it.

I’m Vicki’s caretaker, the fennec fox in the first video. I know it’s tempting to project our own feelings into the animals head. That ungodly screech is how they sound when they’re excited. This happens every morning. When someone that she knows comes to visit she makes it again. When I offer her a treat she makes that sound. Just because that’s the sound YOU make when YOU’RE scared it hardly makes it applicable to all animals. On the rare occasion when she’s scared or angry, it’s another reaction entirely. Vicki is spoiled rotten with love on a daily basis, if that’s what you call torture then I imagine that PETA would be interested in meeting your acquaintance.

Also, many fennecs find carriers comforting to sleep in as they are den-dwelling animals in the wild.

That is horrible, and I’ve never seen an animal so scared. I’m not a crazy “all animals belong outside” person, but seriously… you are torturing that poor thing.

Clearly he’s pissed off and terrified, you fucking asshole.

That is not cute…rather scary and annoying.

y u no let fennec fox live in the wild?

like a squealing pig It looked like he works for an animal preserve.

Eh…he’s got an outdoor area for it to run around in by the looks, and I bet it’s more comfortable sleeping in an enclosed area; they do sleep in confined burrows in the wild, after all.

People shouldnt keep Fennec foxs for pets, especially if they are going to confine them to small pet carriers.

Good to see Lenny Kravitz again
