A teenager was stunned to find that a baby bat had been curled up inside her bra for five hours - as she was wearing it.
Abbie Hawkins, a hotel receptionist, thought her mobile phone was ringing when she felt vibrations coming from her clothes.
But she later discovered the tiny creature tucked away in the padded pocket of her underwear.
As staff and colleagues crowded around, Miss Hawkins, 19, produced the frightened bat, which was the size of her hand.
She said: "Once I realised it was a bat I was shocked, but then I felt quite sorry for it really.
"It looked very snug in there and I thought how mean I was for disturbing it."
Miss Hawkins said she got dressed at 7.30am and arrived for work at the Holiday Inn Norwich North, near Norwich International Airport without noticing anything unusual.
"When I was driving to work I felt a slight vibration but I thought it was just my mobile phone in my jacket pocket," she said.
It was not until her lunch break, at midday when she felt a strange movement inside her bra, which had been hanging on her washing line the previous night.
"I plucked up the courage to investigate and I pulled out a little baby bat. I just lost my breath when I saw it and I did not know what it was at first," she said.
The teenager's general manager freed the bat in the hotel garden.
"I keep thinking how could I have not known it was there?" Miss Hawkins said. "I will certainly be checking my bras every morning from now on."

That’s not a baby bat, nor is it real.
I’m not casting doubt on the story itself, just that picture.
The wing is clearly shiny and rubber, and the bat is too big to be the “tiny creature” and “baby” as described in the article.
Kids these days.
And to think, they get to vote. SCARY!
Hope it was weened.
OK, I admit it!! I often keep my cell phone in my bra. There, I’m glad I finally let that vital piece of information out.
This is just a pic to draw the reader in.
Batman! Stop that!
No, you're right. The real visitor had already escaped:
Does this mean she can sue the bat for sexual harassment?
On the other hand, if I claim to self-identify as a baby bat, does that mean I can climb into a young woman’s bra while she is wearing it and be free from prosecution?
Words to live by.
I sure British Muslims are somehow offended.
At least she didn’t squeal, run around in circles, and scream, “IS IT IN MY HAIR????”
You seemed to have missed the more important data point in that photo......
With that cup size, she could have lost a small dog in there!!!!
Ping
More evidence is required before forming a conclusion.
I’m sure you are absolutely correct ... but the Telegraph just had to have some sort of a picture to go with VS appliance. ;-D
LOL ... are you glad it wasn’t a beaver?
