gekkering

I didn’t even question that this is the verb a fox would use to laugh with.

Fun fact: I almost embarrassed myself and wrote "geckering", but my wife corrected me at the last second.

Geckering is how monkeys laugh. Foxes gekker.

And here I thought my English was pretty good, and I thought you just made this up!

There's also an audio file for gekkering but that's the pronunciation for the word, not the actual example...

It almost is, it would translate as 'crazy ring'.
