"The "tortoise" is not real. The picture is a scene from the 2006 Japanese movie "Gamera the Brave" which features a giant turtle creature. At one point in the movie, the wounded Gamera is transported via a military truck to a research facility. The circulating image is apparently taken from this part of the movie."

Maybe I should self-delete.

7. The features are too pronounced for it to be real.

The big horns on the shell, the oversize jaw, it looks like it's wearing make-up.

3. Goddamn! That thing looks like a creature from Jurassic Park.

5. Or a prop from a Japanese horror movie.

Which is what it actually is.
