Here are some other instances of oral sex in non-humans - but we don't have enough data to say whether it occurs regularly during sex:

There are few observations of fellatio in non-human animals. Oral sex was found as a play behaviour between juvenile males or between juvenile female and juvenile male bonobos Pan paniscus.

Schürmann observed that a female orangutan, Pongo pygmaeus, often interrupted copulation for a short while, manipulating her mate's penis with her hand, licking it or putting it in her mouth before mounting again. It is plausible that this female's behavior increased male arousal.

In general, many animals may lick genitals before and after copulation, for example, the male of ring-tailed lemur, Lemur catta, often licks the genitals of the female in order to judge whether she is in oestrous, and after copulation, he also licks his penis.

Both male and female Livingstone's fruit bats (Pteropus livingstonii) also licked the genitals of their partners during heterosexual interactions.

However, because of the limited details provided, we do not know whether fellatio occurs during copulation in these species.

I was reminded about Bat Appreciation Day today thanks to this channel on YouTube.

It is the same for you?
What is a "bat appreciation day"?

Please consider donating to Austin Bat Refuge. You can also buy things off their wish list or even volunteer if you live nearby!

THE BATS ARE FREE! Thankfully, Austin Bat Refuge volunteers took action and started removing the foam late last night. They were confronted by the maintenance person who then called the apartment manager off-site. The volunteers were told to stop, but they continually educated the people about the danger of bats trapped inside to the tenants and were eventually allowed to continue removing the foam. Tomorrow, exclusion tubes will be installed and the bats will be removed safely and humanely.

Local news has reached out to the apartment complex management without success.

Please read this in its entirety and PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD:

Yesterday evening we learned of a large colony of pregnant free-tailed bats who were sealed into an apartment complex. This photo is a small sampling of the areas that were foamed.

The bats have been living there peacefully for years, however, a new tenant complained and the apartment complex took drastic measures. Rather than doing a safe and humane exclusion (eviction) of the bats, they instead decided to use spray foam to entomb the bats in hopes they will slowly die.

The police in San Antonio were contacted, and allegedly cites a NONEXISTANT law of USFWS, that the bats should be killed when inside a building. To add to this, Texas Parks and Wildlife allow the indiscriminate killings of bats when they are inside a building occupied by humans.

However, sealing the bats in will not work. They will not just stay there and slowly die, they will try to escape and end up INSIDE apartments, where they are likely to come into contact with children and pets. If an exposure occurs, the apartment complex and associated owners will be liable.

Another issue is that thousands of decaying bodies will end up inside the walls and ceiling of the apartments, causing a horrible odor issue that will not dissipate until the walls and ceiling are torn down and replaced. The last time and apartment complex did this, they were forced to relocate all of their tenants into hotels at the apartment owners expense.

ALL OF THIS CAN BE AVOIDED IF THEY SIMPLY REMOVE THE FOAM AND THEN PERFORM A HUMANE BAT EXCLUSION.

The apartment complex and the property owners do not have Facebook pages so we are encouraging folks to contact these companies through the information below. It is not too late to save the bats so please act quickly!

THE FOAM MUST COME DOWN!
