PLoS One 4, e7595 (2009)
Libiao Zhang of Guangdong Entomological
Institute in China and his colleagues have
documented what may be the first case of
regular fellatio in adult animals other than
humans. They report that female short-nosed fruit
bats (Cynopterus sphinx) licked their mate’s
penis during 14 of 20 observed copulations.
Matings that involved licking lasted
significantly longer than those that did not.
Possible functions for this behaviour
include stimulation to prolong copulation
and assist fertilization; mate guarding;
antibacterial effects; and the detection of
chemicals assisting in mate choice.
The authors say their observations could
suggest a possible adaptive benefit for the
activity in this species.

1. "We cannot allow communist China to overtake the United States in cutting-edge fellatio research. This could lead to a serious 'Fellatio Gap.'"
"cutting edge fellatio" is a disconcerting combination of words.
Furratio?
Ferallatio?
I regret that I had not thought, until now, of calling someone a "cocksucking fruit bat."
Because this is a widely viewed website I will withhold my otherwise ample response to your challenge. Just give me the prize and we'll leave it at that.
Fruitalattio?
Scientists became aware of the bat/fellatio connection when they spotted tiny little mirrors on the bathouse floor.
