A Toaster Bat?

I found this little guy while toasting a bagel this afternoon. The bagel had just popped up when he crawled out form behind it our toaster. At first I was just a little alarmed, I am used to seeing bugs crawl out from be hind things once in a while but this guy is kind of big (maybe double the size an adult field mouse). He hung out on the counter just long enough for me to figure out just what the hell I was seeing, and weather or not he had been burnt by the toaster, he looked fine. He then flew off into the dining and living room where little C was eating lunch and hid behind the mirror over the mantle. C eventually screamed, but it took him a minute or so to figure out that what he saw was not normal. The bat is now safely in a moving box, due to be released later on this afternoon. I haven’t the slightest clue how he got in here. But it was a nice diversion.

Sickboy said...

I put him in a box up on a cabinet in our dining room to show P when she got home... he escaped! P was not happy! We again found him hanging from the crown molding in the living room. This time he squawked at me when I put him in the box. Need less to say this time he went immediately out side.
