Scientists have documented a pair of gay bears in a Croatian zoo enjoying oral sex, according to reports.

NBC News reports that the two unrelated brown bears had been orphaned soon after they were born in 2003, and put into a sanctuary in Kuterevo, Croatia.

Over six years scientists noted them engaging in fellatio 28 times.

According to the study, which was published in the journal Zoo Biology, the larger bear was always the one to receive fellatio.

Apparently the scientists figured out what was happening by the muscular contractions on the big bear and fluid left on the muzzle of the smaller one.

The interesting thing is it was the provider who always instigated the oral sex.

‘We suggest that the behaviour began as a result of early deprivation of maternal suckling, and persisted through life, possibly because it remained satisfying for both individuals,’ the scientists wrote.
