The former vary according to the distance between individuals, while the latter vary according to the level of aggression.
Contact calls is often made by two foxes approaching one another. Interaction calls is made when greeting one another. Red foxes emit high pitched whines, particularly submissive animals. Gekkering occurs mostly during the courting season from rival males or vixens rejecting advances.
