Testudo, a diamondback terrapin, is the mascot of the University of Maryland, College Park and represents the university both at sporting events and as a more general symbol. Testudo has served as the school’s mascot since the 1930s, and several statues of the terrapin exist on the school’s campus. — Wikipedia
