  • Welcome toe watch mojo.

  • And today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 creepiest animal sounds.

  • All right.

  • This'll list will be going over some of the most unsettling noises made by animals.

  • If there's a creepy animal sound that you think should have been on our list, make sure to share it in the comments.

  • If you like what you're hearing, be sure to check out the full song at the link below.

  • Grade.

  • E.

  • Never seen a mighty fine until I die.

  • Number 10 goat.

  • I think such a relatively common farm animal would sound mundane, but goats can produce some downright unsettling noises.

  • They have the ability to make a variety of sounds.

  • Well, you may be most familiar with their casual bleeding.

  • They can sound like people when they're excited, scared or just when they randomly feel like it.

  • When you go lets out a yell that sounds like a human screaming.

  • It can make you wanna let out a shout of your own.

  • It's also creepy to think that they can vocalize like humans while having horns and a willingness to eat pretty much everything.

  • Wait.

  • Did we just create a new horror villain, Uh, number nine Madagascar hissing cockroach.

  • Just the thought of being around a bug that makes noise is cause for concern.

  • So it makes sense that the creepiest of these sounds comes from one of the most unnerving insects alive.

  • They do that when disturbed or looking for a mate native to Madagascar, hissing cockroaches.

  • Congrats to a disturbing length of around 2 to 3 inches.

  • Unlike most noisy bugs there, hissing sound is caused when they release air from the openings on their abdomen called spirituals.

  • Perhaps the most baffling fact about hissing cockroaches is that some people willingly keep them as pets.

  • We prefer to hang around animals that don't give us the heebie jeebies, but to each, their own number eight screaming hairy armadillo.

  • It's kind of right there in the name, isn't it?

  • It's like a Carlo Things.

  • Noisy mammal is mainly found in South America.

  • True to its name, this armadillo is much hairier than the other members of its species.

  • It also typically tends to grow just over a foot in length.

  • They are a desert species of armadillo, most air rainforest, but they do live in the deserts in Argentina, mostly eso that could account for for the long hair for sand protection.

  • While its small size and physical features already make it stand out among other armadillos, its most distinctive feature is its cry screaming, hairy armadillos, air known toe wine plaintively like a human infant.

  • If they're disturbed, things is what he would do.

  • If a predator was trying to eat him, he would make this noise that they make a predator trying to drop.

  • And if you don't think a Scalea hairy, baby sized animals screaming in your arms is strange, then you probably already own one of these screechy creatures number seven elk.

  • Given that deer aren't exactly known for being vocal, it might be surprising to learn that l can make noise, but they dio and it's creepy.

  • When you hear these large mammals emitting shockingly disturbing mating calls, they're engaging in a process known as bugle ing.

  • The males or bulls belt out long, eerie calls that sound like a cross between a high pitched squeal and would being scraped together.

  • Their uncanny cries could be heard for miles and can instantly send shivers down the spines of unprepared hikers.

  • While we don't doubt Googling is helpful for attracting female elk, also known as cows.

  • The sound is bound to make humans want to run in the opposite direction.

  • Number six.

  • BARN Owl What was that unearthly screech we heard in the middle of the night?

  • Is it a demon?

  • A banshee?

  • No, it's an owl.

  • While most owls are known for their hooting barn, owls are not.

  • Instead, they have a distinctive screech that would put a lot of supernatural creatures to shame.

  • Given that their round faces and dark eyes already give them a ghostly appearance, it's fitting that they have a haunting call to match.

  • Even when you're able to see them shriek, their vocalizations are still unsettling thing.

  • Now Try to imagine walking through the woods after dark and hearing their voices screeching through the still night way.

  • Don't think you'll be sleeping much after that.

  • Number five Tasmanian Devil Looney Tunes might have underplayed how terrifying these down under beasts can be.

  • Theo, typical Tasmanian devil is small in stature, but they make up for their small size with their loud and aggressive barks, howls and screams.

  • When a group of explorers first reached the country of Tasmania, they were disturbed by the creatures Demonic.

  • Yeah, Owls.

  • Theme marsupials.

  • Horrifying vocalizations inspired the explorers to nickname the animal Basil.

  • Bubs pup.

  • If you thought the terrifying named animals bark was worse than its bite, you'd be sadly mistaken.

  • The Tasmanian Devil actually has the strongest bite force relative to its body mass of any living carnivorous mammal in the world.

  • Number four Links Links is air medium sized Wildcats notable for their tufted ears, native to Europe, Asia and North America.

  • Thes felines could make some rather cute mewing noises.

  • But if to lynxes get into a dispute, things can get extremely spooky.

  • In display of dominance, the felines will try to yowl louder than the other.

  • Wow.

  • Thes matches could be very unsettling to witness.

  • Their creepy vocalizations sound like a mix of a witch doing a cat impression and a squeaky door trying out its base singing voice.

  • If you heard two links is confronting each other in the wild, we wouldn't blame you if you packed everything up and went home.

  • Number three Red Fox.

  • What does the fox say?

  • You might not wanna listen while seeing the fox during the day is one thing.

  • Hearing them scream at night is something entirely different.

  • Although red foxes have long been seen as a threat to farm animals, there have been recent attempts at domesticating them.

  • Maybe having them in our homes will get us used to the way they talk.

  • While some of their vocalizations could be pretty endearing, they can also make sounds that are downright terrifying.

  • Their mating calls alone sounds like a human shrieking and pain.

  • We don't envy any new Fox pet owners.

  • Hopefully, their neighbors won't call the cops because of the unsettling sounds The Foxes making Number two Laughing Kookaburra, the famous Australian nursery rhyme about Kookaburras, was right all along.

  • These birds really do laugh, however, while the song mentions how gay their lives must be, it doesn't say how wicked there laughter like vocalizations sound.

  • While they sometimes sound like monkeys trying to attract a mate, they can also sound like an evil villain snickering about their plans to take over the world.

  • E O ah laughing kookaburras, odd chuckling, is sure to scare anyone who isn't ready to be overwhelmed by the sound of the birds.

  • Natural voice.

  • It's especially unsettling when large groups of them start a chorus of creepy giggling.

  • We're honestly not sure how Australians consent and being around cook obras Once they start their diabolical avian snickering, he's just laughing.

  • All Yeah, he's just laughing on yourself.

  • That's OK.

  • Before we unveil our number one pick.

  • Here are a few honorable mentions.

  • Elephants seal.

  • Males have calls that sound like boat engines s hippopotamus.

  • They may look soft, but these deadly animals have an evil laugh.

  • Squeals, grunts and clicks much like the cause of their dolphin cousins.

  • Resonate through a hippo's jhaw bow on allow them to hear above and below water at the same time.

  • Brush tailed possum.

  • Thes marsupials may be cute, but they're chuckle is sinister.

  • Yeah, okay.

  • Koala cuddly critters.

  • Number one rattlesnake.

  • If we were to nominate a universal oh crap animal sound for the Western Hemisphere, we'd pick the rattlesnakes.

  • Namesake noise thes reptiles are present throughout the Americas.

  • Any person or animal who has encountered or even heard of them knows to be very afraid of their trademark sound.

  • When rattlesnakes vibrate their tails segments, they send an ominous noise that tells potential threats to get away from it.

  • The rattle is a benign early warning system, a device for making sure that anything that comes near is made aware of its presence.

  • Given that their bite is very venomous, any living being with a drop of self preservation knows how to hightail it away from the noise as fast as possible, and they better move swiftly.

  • Rattlesnakes can strike very quickly after you hear them.

  • It's a polite way to say Back the heck off.
