It is obviously a fake, but even a cursory look on YouTube finds half a dozen versions, all claiming that it is the largest turtle (sic) in the world, and that it was found at a named location in the Middle East.

Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.
The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.

The individual is clearly a model, but why it should be on the back of a huge truck in the Middle East I have only one (outlandish) suggestion.
What if the model is a reconstruction of _Colossochelys atlas_, the largest terrestrial tortoise known, being transported through the middle east to a museum or such? Far fetched I know, but it is a possibility.
Well hold your breath!! There are others like this one!! Have you seen what's going on in The Simpsons when they awake? They destroy your town!! So just don't look at them!! Please! Just don't look!!
