London - A British teenager has said she was "shaking head to toe " when she discovered a baby bat curled up in her bra after investigating "vibrations " she believed to have come from her mobile phone. Abbie Hawkins, 19, of Norwich, south-east England, said she was quietly doing her job as a hotel receptionists when she decided to examine the "strange movements " in her underwear.

"I put my hand down my bra and pulled out a cuddly little bat. It looked cosy and comfortable and I was sorry for disturbing it, " she said according to press reports Wednesday.

Hawkins said she was shocked but felt bad for removing the "cuddly bat " from its cosy position in the bra padding.

"That shocked me very much at the time, but it scuttled off under the desk into the dark. I was shaking from head to toe, " reported Hawkins.

"It looked quite cosy and comfortable in there so it was quite rude of me to take it out. I felt quite sorry for it. Perhaps I should have left it there and given it a good home. "

Hawkins explained that the undergarment had been in her bedroom drawer after being washed the day before, but she had not noticed anything when putting it on.

"When I was driving to work, I felt a slight vibration but I thought it was just my mobile phone in my jacket pocket. "

The bat was captured by one of her colleagues and released.
