Foxes can make these blood curdling screams at night. I think maybe mating
sounds or something. In actuality they are cute little fellers not a threat
like coyotes unless you have a really tiny purse dog maybe.

On one of my backpacking trips I heard the distinctive scream of a wildcat in
the early evening. That night while I was in my hammock I woke up when
something was walking quietly around my hammock. I'm not sure if you know what
I mean when I say I could feel its presence in the darkness, but that's exactly
what it was like. It moved slowly and quietly, and I never saw what it was, but
it was big enough to snap twigs under its feet.
I told people it was a cougar, but in hindsight I only made that leap because I
heard the scream earlier. Could have been a black bear.....or worst of all it
could have been a human.
