An English teenager was shocked to find the vibrating coming from her bra wasn't her cell-phone, but a sleeping baby bat.

Abbie Hawkins, 19, of Norwich, had been wearing her 34FF bra for 5 hours before she decided to investigate, the BBC reported.

The hotel receptionist said she felt "bad" for removing the bat.

"It looked cosy and comfortable and I was sorry for disturbing it."

She had been sitting at her desk when she became curious about the peculiar movements of her underwear.

"I put my hand down my bra and pulled out a cuddly little bat.

"That shocked me very much at the time, but it scuttled off under the desk and into the dark."

Miss Hawkins said she hadn't noticed anything while getting dressed, saying the night before she had a couple of drinks and was getting ready quickly.

"While 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 later found by one of her colleagues and released.
