What do foxes say? In real life, they bark, scream, yip and make a chuckling-quacking sound called gekkering. But in many human cultural traditions around the world, whatever foxes say is probably meant to trick or deceive you. For thousands of years, we humans have branded the fox as the archetypal trickster, and seen him as a cunning, clever troublemaker.
