— Ace Really.
Fruit bats 1, me 0.
Fruit bats regularly engage in oral sex, according to groundbreaking new research published in Science magazine.The study found that more than two-thirds of female short-nosed fruit bats (Cynopterus sphinx) performed fellatio on their sexual partners, and that they were rewarded with longer bouts of intercourse as a result.
Previously, the only animals known to carry out oral sex apart from humans were bonobo chimpanzees.However, the study, by Libiao Zhang and his team of biologists from Guangdong Entomological Institute in China, found that female bats were enthusiastic fellators, with 70 per cent performing oral sex on their mate during intercourse.
Science magazine reported: Both sexes groomed each other during courtship. But then came the shocker.After the male mounted the female from behind, she bent over and began licking his penis.
Great. Another scientific study proving my life sucks. Thanks, science.
Didn't we already know this from Sesame Street?
In other weird news, this article contains a picture of a man nicknamed "No Nose." Because he lost his nose in a gunfight.
Content Warning for an unsettling disfigurement. Scan down to the last picture of the three perps.

Entomology is the study of insects. So Calvin was right: bats are bugs!

At the San Diego Zoo a few years ago, my wife and I were stunned to see a female gorilla servicing a male gorilla in just such a manner.
The female wandered off after a moment. Apparently not satisfied, the male attempted to cajole her into resuming. When she demurred, he tried to indebt her by offering the same, er, favor to her.
We chalked it up to their living in California.

"...there could be evolutionary reasons for fellatio, and that the fruit bat discovery could allow scientists to test it. He warned, however, that the bats could just be doing it for fun."
My favorite line. Well, that and the implication that lots of animals go down on each other but scientists are too square to report it.

Well now we know what that white stuff is.....
Disease Deadly To Bats Spreads In Northeast U.S.
A deadly disease that has ravaged bat populations in the Northeast is spreading faster than expected, according to federal researchers, who have confirmed fresh outbreaks of "white-nose syndrome" in Connecticut and eastern Vermont.
The scientists also suspect that the illness may have infected caves in Pennsylvania, and they worry that entire species of bats could be wiped out in affected areas.
White-nose syndrome was first reported in late 2006 in caves in Albany, N.Y., where as many as 11,000 bats died. More than three months ago, researchers confirmed that the disease had infected bats elsewhere in New York as well as in Massachusetts and western Vermont killing 90 percent of the animals in some caves.
