And you thought only humans go down

A team at Bristol university have discovered that the female short-nosed fruit bat goes down on its mate to prolong copulation. It's thought to be the first documented case of fellatio by adult animals other than humans.

Bonobos perform oral sex on each other. I might be wrong but I think goats do too......no, seriously.

It is thought that the hugely sexually active bonobos perform fellatio for 'amusement' whereas the fruit bat uses it as a way of lengthening copulation and improving the chance of conception. Apparently they lick the base of the males penis whilst it is inserted, (they must be rather flexible), to keep him hard rather than fellate the male to get him hard to begin with.
Bonobos are so sexually charged that they regularly perform female/female, male/male, and adult/juvenile. They share 98.5% of their DNA with humans.

Bonobos use sex/sexual acts as a form of social bonding, pleasure and to keep aggression down to a minimum. Like couples who fight and make up by having sex.
