If you haven’t heard what a lynx sounds like when it wants to call for another lynx, just brace yourself. It’s weird. Fierce Focus Outdoors recently shared excellent footage and audio of a Canada lynx making its unique mating call, and you’ll have to turn up your volume for this one.

“Yip, that’s how they sound,” wrote Fierce Focus Outdoors in the video’s caption.

“Sounds like an old woman dying!” joked one person in the comments section.

“I love [lynxes] and Bobcats, but this sound sounds like somebody in distress,” wrote another.
