London (ANTARA News) - 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 was quoted by DPA as saying 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.
