SCIENTISTS DISCOVER BROWN BEARS ENJOY HAVING GAY SEX

Zoologists in Eastern Europe have discovered that male brown bears enjoy engaging in oral sex with each other.

No, this is no April fools joke. Researchers at the Polish Academy of Sciences, studied more than 116 hours of bear activity at a Croatian wildlife sanctuary noting 28 instances of fellatio between two male bears.

Each “interlude” apparently lasted between one and four minutes!

Researchers published their finding in the journal Zoo Biology:

Sexually stimulating behaviors that are not linked to reproduction are rare among non-human (especially non-primate) mammals. Such behaviors may have a function in the hierarchy of social species. In solitary species, such behaviors are more enigmatic, and possibly indicative of something abnormal.

Here, we report on a case of two male brown bears, raised in captivity since being orphaned as cubs, which engaged in recurrent fellatio multiple times per day until at least 10 years old. The roles of provider and receiver in the act remained unchanged, and the behavior itself became highly ritualized. The provider always initiated the contact involving vigorous penile sucking that appeared to result in ejaculation.

We suggest that the behavior began as a result of early deprivation of maternal suckling, and persisted through life, possibly because it remained satisfying for both individuals. This constitutes the first descriptive report of fellatio in bears, and suggests that some bears may suffer lifelong behavioral consequences from being orphaned at an early age.

The truth about homosexuality in the animal kingdom is that this is nothing new and has been observed in various species for hundreds of years, but homophobia and hetero-normative biases have kept scientist from reporting on it.

So, as the song says...

"Let's Fall In Love"

Written by Cole Porter

And that's why birds do it, bees do it

Even educated fleas do it

Let's do it, let's fall in love

In Spain, the best upper sets do it

Lithuanians and Letts do it

Let's do it, let's fall in love

The Dutch in old Amsterdam do it

Not to mention the Finns

Folks in Siam do it - think of Siamese twins

Some Argentines, without means, do it

People say in Boston even beans do it

Let's do it, let's fall in love

Romantic sponges, they say, do it

Oysters down in Oyster Bay do it

Let's do it, let's fall in love

Cold Cape Cod clams, 'gainst their wish, do it

Even lazy jellyfish, do it

Let's do it, let's fall in love

Electric eels I might add do it

Though it shocks 'em I know

Why ask if shad do it - Waiter bring me shad roe

In shallow shoals English soles do it

Goldfish in the privacy of bowls do it

Let's do it, let's fall in love

The dragonflies in the reeds do it

Sentimental centipedes do it

let's do it it, let's fall in love

mos-qui-to's heaven forbid, do it

soon as every katydid do it

let's do it, lets' fall in love

The most refined lady bu-u-ugs do it

When a gentleman calls

Moths in your rugs do it

What's the use of moth balls

locusts in trees do it

bees do it

even over-educated fleas do it

let's do it, let's fall in love!

let's do it le-e-et's fall in love

let's do it, let's fall in love!
