[edit]"European" bat? The map with it's range claims otherwise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.169.203.35 (talk) 12:40, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
Reproduction
[edit]In a study, published Monday in the journal Current Biology, Dr. Fassel and his colleagues presented evidence that serotine bats mate without penetration, making them the first mammals known to do so. Instead of using their penises to penetrate their partners, the scientists found, the male bats use them to push their partner’s tail membrane out of the way so they can align their openings and engage in contact mating, a behavior similar to one found in birds and known as “cloacal kissing.”
