I'm glad to have been able to find some fox sounds for you! I've reposted the link below: The Fox Den: Sounds of the Fox http://www.angelfire.com/ar2/thefoxden/sounds.html Here are some more foxy soundbites: Vulpes: Sounds http://www.vulpes.org/foxden/sounds/index.htm This is the search string that led me to the pages linked above: Google Web Search: "red fox" calls ://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22red+fox%22+calls Regarding your question about the kinds of skills that Google Answers Researchers have, we are not all librarians (although some are). There are Google Answers Researchers from a wide variety of professions, including (but not limited to) veterinarians, medical doctors, teachers, attorneys, writers, and at least one professional chef! What we all have in common is the ability to find information. All Google Answers Researchers have been carefully screened and selected by Google Answers for their ability to provide fast, accurate, courteous responses to questions on almost any subject. Best regards, pinkfreud |

I never stated whether it was a European or US red fox I wanted to hear. Maybe they sound differently? I still don't know. But the answer was exact enough - I know now that what I heard really was a red fox. |

Yes, this was very satisfactory - now I know for sure that it's a red fox claiming it's territory that scares both me and my cat. But why do I have to pay 2 $ to not get an answer from Google, when I get hte answer from you in no time?? :-) |

If you don't think the material I posted above is worth your $2.00, you can cancel your question, and pay only the fifty-cent listing fee. Or you can wait for another Google Answers Researcher to provide something better. If you do think it's worth the $2.00, I'll be glad to repost the link as your official answer. It's up to you. I don't want to post an answer unless you are fully satisfied. That's why I offered the link as a comment first. |

I see -- Well, it's worth 2$ to me :-) I'm still curious, though. How do I know what kind of skills that the "Google Answers Researcher" has. Are you all librraians? :-) |

Just curious... What would you have required in order to give a five-star rating? |

I would have required you (or someone else) to ask me whether I was searching for the sound of a European or American red fox, or any subspecies. However, I acknowledge the fact that this was information I should have put forward volunteerly. Nevertheless, this Google service is a 24/7-service, open for all the world to partake in. Here (in Norway) it's in the middle of the night :-) and no-one thought I was asking for a japanese red fox, right? (which I was not) My "scary monster" is a vulpes vulpes, I can tell by the soundtrack. |

Dear callas-ga, I see that this is the first question you've posted on Google Answers. I hope that you will come back in the future, so I'd like you to look over these links so you can optimize your experience. http://answers.google.com/answers/faq.html http://answers.google.com/answers/pricing.html As you can see, a $2 question "can be answered with a single link or a single piece of information. Sometimes, if a researcher is personally interested in the question's subject, they may provide a longer answer." (BTW, the researcher gets 75% of the fee. Pink got $1.50 for your question.) Pinkfreud went above and beyond what you could expect at the price of your question. Not only that, she had asked you if you were happy with her answer before posting the Answer. If you had additional requirements, it was up to you to specify them. Researchers are good at answering questions but reading the customer's mind is not one of the qualifications for the job. I think you might also be interested to know that Pinkfreud is the highest rated researcher of anyone with 100+ questions under their belt. She's pushing 2000 answers with a 4.91 rating. If you want to check a researcher's past record just click on their name. You will be taken to a page that shows the questions they've answered. Hover your mouse over the stars next to Average Answer Rating and you will get the researcher's rating. http://answers.google.com/answers/ratings?user=8557989531679117785 I hope that you will come back to use Google Answers. Researchers are eager to serve your research needs. ~ czh ~ |

Do European red foxes have accents? ;) I don't see what the difference would be. Fox language is the same worldide. My 2 cents, Steph53 |

Yes, Foxes do have different accents (or dialects) that vary by region. This is true in almost all species with verbal communcation, including birds, monkeys, frogs, etc. |

This has been a very interesting experience to me - mainly as a first-timer on Google Answers, but also because I'm a librarian myself, working on library policies in a Norwegian governmental authority. I would like to share this experience with other library professionals in Norway, by refering the whole story in the library magazine that we publish. I should like to have a further dialog with pinkfreud-ga about this, too, if possible. The way GA works, focussing on dialog and customer satisfaction is worth a closer study. |
