This is just a random comment made by a random Tumblr user. The Why Animals Do The Thing Tumblr, a page devoted to disproving made up animal facts, writes that the above-displayed foxes are likely in the middle of a dispute: The Icelandic Stripper Boots Tumblr page, where the comment about red foxes finding their soulmates originated, admitted that the there was no truth behind the claim after the video went viral: The claim that a red fox screams when it finds its soulmate was not based on any scientific research.
