bats in a russian household :)

My Russian friend Valeriy and I were working on remodeling my house when this bat flew into an open door. It kept flying around trying to find a way out. We opened windows and doors for it, but it just could not seem to find the exit. I guess we confused its sonars completely, as we probably resonated differenly then walls and returned sound resembling the open doors :). So it kept trying to fly THROUGH us.

For the first time in our lives we applied the knowledge we acquired from "Young Naturalist" a TV show we used to watch while growing up in USSR back in the old days.:) The bat got really exhausted after flying around non-stop, landed on the floor, just crawled outside through the door and then flew away later. We were afraid that that my cat would try to catch the crawling bat, but the cat got freaked out by all of the comotion of two grown men running around with the cameras and evacuated itself into an open vent in the kitchen for a few hours.
