During a workout one night in July, Robert found a microbat on the floor. Most people would be horrified, but Irwin picked it up and examined it for injuries before putting him on a high ledge where it could fly away when it’s ready. He says that although many people fear bats, “they are actually beautiful animals” being pollinators and natural pest control.

“There you go, fella,” he said as he filmed the microbat for Instagram. He ended the video warning his viewers to never touch bats with their bare hands, instead use a towel or crate, or better yet, call animal control. “Beautiful animals though.”
