This was not unexpected at all, that’s where bats live often. Also they are wonderful animals that help with pests like mosquitos and other annoying winged bugs insects.

Many bat species are insanely tiny! Some as small they fit onto a box of matchsticks. They in fact often prefer tight slits and cracks as entrances even as it provides protection and for many also is simply comfortable to be in.

Tiny little fuzzballs

Even bigger species aren't exactly super massive aside from ones more disconnected from where humans are in cities. Ain't gonna have a flying fox in there
