Chinese Fruit Bats Engage in Some Kinky Behavior



A scientific paper published today on http://www.plosone.org details some interesting bat behavior. The article title really says it all Fellatio by Fruit Bats Prolongs Copulation Time. The paper's abstract goes on to state "A positive relationship exists between the length of time that the female licked the male's penis during copulation and the duration of copulation. Furthermore, mating pairs spent significantly more time in copulation if the female licked her mate's penis than if fellatio was absent."

The image above (and a more in-depth discussion of naughty bat behavior) comes from this article on Treehugger.com

well i knew there was a correlation between making him happy and him making me happy. i am suprised that bats figured it out though. worthy of note, no mention of reciprocation.

To paraphrase Monty Python: "The fruit bat is a randy little fellow whose primitive brain scarcely strays from the subject of you-know-what." 😉
