Animal: Does a sex thing.

Scientists: BUT WHAT EVOLUTIONARY PURPOSE DOES IT SERVE!?

I think I broke the code! It makes them horny, which makes them want to have sex, which leads to pregnancy.

Scientists: why would a female need to be horny or want to have sex?

Sounds like something Sheldon would say, so I'm calling it a fact.

Someone's got o round out the bell curve - thanks for dating them, I guess?!

I joke. Everyone deserves a caring and attentive partner - pleasure is too important!

J. Maruthupandian and G. Marimuthu can't understand purpose of sex being rewarding for females.

The bats spent longer performing cunnilingus after copulation than before, so licking competitors sperm out can't possibly be the reason, but it gets proposed.

This foreplay may help arouse and lubricate females, the researchers said.

It's in the source article. Perhaps you could redirect your vitriol to OP instead of the researchers?

Bats are cool

Bats are the only true flying mammals. There are over 1,400 species of bats, and they can be found on nearly every part of the planet. Not only are they cute, they are also important...

Studying how bats use echolocation has helped scientists develop navigational aids for the blind. Without bats’ pollination, seed dispersal, and pest control we wouldn’t have bananas, avocados, mangoes, agave, or cacao… that’s right, bats bring us tequila and chocolate!

Found a bat in need of help?

Celebrate bats with us!
