No one can probably help me at this point, but it's worth a shot.

When I was a kid, I loved dinosaurs--as did we all. And I remember watching this video on dinosaurs that spent 10 minutes talking about prehistoric mammals. At one point, they showed a museum exhibit of what looked like a giant bat, but it walked upright on two long legs, had two long arms as well. And no wings.

But it did have a bat head, with unmistakably large ears, no eyes, and an upturned snout.

Does anyone know what the fuck I'm talking about or what it's name is?

It could have been a model of Dougal Dixon's Night stalker, a hypothetical future bat that has become flightless. I could only find a this scan on the internets, but I have the book (After Man) with a photo of the model, so I could scan it if you'd like to see it?

Why does it have hands coming out of its ass?

"Why not?" Nature responded.

I remember that exhibit, it was kind of a 'what-if' hypothetical future exhibit. It was along the same lines as that book, but I don't think it was actually connected to it.

Holy shit OP, I totally remember this now that you mention it! Alas, these memories are about as vague as your own.

BTW, scan that thing for great justice. I seem to remember having seen this thing too.

This whole thread also reminds me of those 'What If' specials. The ones I'm thinking about were the ones that postulated Troodons or other small theropods evolving into higher intelligence if they hadn't been selected for extinction.

Here we go. The model was smaller than I remembered. (The guy in the picture is Dougal Dixon, BTW)

Troodons were what?! Being hit by a giant fucking asteroid doesn't mean you've been "selected for extinction". It just means that shit randomly happens.

Sweet! Thanks.

Meh, they were just selected by a huge plummeting chunk of spacerock. Think of it as categorically selecting dinosaurs and not mammals.
