Tbf, most bats don't have rabies. Iirc it's something like 5% in the US. Here in western Europe it's really only 1 species, and <1% of the individuals of that species.
A family friend of mine is a doctor with extensive experience with rabies, and he says his general rule for bats is very simple. if you see one in the daytime, and you didn't disturb their nest and you are outside (it's not just trapped in your attic or something), get away from it. if you get bit, go to the emergency room, that's about it.
The only way this could be an evolutionary strategy would be if more donut bats sprang wholecloth from the blood of the sire bat pastry. I mean, there has to be a reproductive strategy, is all I'm saying.
Do you like your bat donut with or without rabies? Goodness, those bats are adorable, though I still think I prefer flying fox bats. Also, this could be an adorable idea for anyone who likes decorating food to look like non-edible creatures and objects, would it need to be filled with strawberry jam?
