Would you haul this (possibly very hungry) dino-load for Amazon?
A truck loaded up with a mysterious large box has been spotted driving around Los Angeles as part of a promotion for the new movie “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.”
It was so amazing seeing this on the 405 freeway today. #amazonfindsaway #jurassicpark pic.twitter.com/VsAn89QgPH

The box, complete with air holes for whatever is inside, is part of a triple-brand publicity stunt involving Amazon, “Jurassic World”, and a line of Jeep Rubicon vehicles that appear in the movie. Amazon is encouraging users to ask “Alexa, ask Jurassic World what’s in the box?”
Drivers around Los Angeles have been snapping photos and sharing video of the truck and the Jurassic-sized box.

If you think that seeing a truck hauling dinosaurs has a familiar feel, you might be remembering this. During promotion for the 2015 film “Jurassic World” a WSDOT Traffic employee who clearly would have rather been at the movies than doing her job, tweeted about it and got this response from the main WSDOT Twitter account.
