Even though I believe this to be a mountain lion scream, I applaud the listener for recording it. A listener writes “What’s this screaming? Recorded tonight in Waycross, GA near Okefenokee swamp.”
The Okefenokee Swamp is a shallow, 438,000-acre, peat-filled wetland straddling the Georgia–Florida line in the United States. A majority of the swamp is protected by the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge and the Okefenokee Wilderness.
Here is a the video along with a mountain lion at the end to compare

Not panther..
Duration is too long, pitch is off.
Scott F
It’s a North American Cougar.
John T
The two do not sound the same to me
Steven B
Foxes can make a noise like that.

I know for a fact it’s a fox because we had a fox den on the back of our property at one time. I got video recording of it doing that same call one night in our woods.

When you record something, MAKE SURE YOU TALK THROUGH THE WHOLE THING!!
