The sudden cold weather caused a bat to appear in an apartment screen.
According to a Yonhap News report on the 6th, Lee Min-ju (38), a resident of Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province, witnessed a small bat about half the size of an adult's palm attached to the screen on the veranda of her apartment on the 1st.
Lee sprayed water on the screen or hit it with a rod, but the bat did not fly away and stuck to the screen for six days.
On the morning of the 6th, there was even one more bat of a similar size. Since then, the bats have made no noise and little movement.
"When I searched on the Internet, I heard that the bat that was hibernating is moving and taking a break," Lee said. "I'm going to wait until it flies."
This bat is believed to be a common snack bat in Korea.
An official from the Gyeonggi-do Wildlife Rescue Center said, "It is a common phenomenon that bats, which have not been able to find a place to hibernate due to the sudden cold weather, are attached to the windows of relatively warm apartments."
If you find a bat attached to the screen, it is recommended to watch it for about a day, then lightly hit the screen with a rod or spray water to induce it to fly during the day when the temperature rises. If you don't fly for a long time, it's recommended to report it to your local wildlife rescue center.
