Downright batty: British woman finds bat in her bra

0 Comments | AFP, July, 2008

LONDON (AFP) — A British woman spoke of her surprise Wednesday after finding a baby bat in her bra.

Abbie Hawkins, 19, harboured the creature in her bosom for over four hours and had felt a slight twitching but thought it was her mobile phone vibrating.

Eventually, though, she checked and found the creature nestling in the padding pocket of her 34FF bra.

"Once I realised it was a bat I was shocked, but then I felt quite sorry for it really," Hawkins, a hotel receptionist from Norfolk, eastern England, told the Eastern Daily Press newspaper.

"It looked very snug in there and I thought how mean I was for disturbing it."

The bat survived unharmed and has been released back into the wild.
