For the first time in history, adult animals besides homo sapiens have been found to engage in the act of fellatio before, or sometimes in lieu of, sex. And no, the animals aren’t monkeys, although the Chinese Zoology study does point out that young a chimpanzee may sometimes engage in the behavior of giving head. The animal isn’t even a mammal [Oops! Mistake fixed. - Ed.]. It’s a bat…man.
From the MSNBC.Com article:

Intriguingly, the female lowered her head to lick the male penis during 14 of 20 copulations recorded on video. The licking typically went on for some 19 seconds, or roughly one-twelfth the average time of copulation. The male never withdrew from the female when she performed fellatio.

So what’s the biological purpose of all these b.j.’s? “The bats spent twice as long copulating when oral sex was involved than when not.” And although Chinese researchers are still scratching their heads over what that could mean, it might prove to be a game-changer in our commonly held misconception that only certain animals have sex for pleasure.

And if you are just dying to watch bats go down on each other and can’t wait for the next episode of The Vampire Diaries, here’s your link to the explicit video of bat blowjobs.
