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

Indeed. That is true as I, a graduate (MSEE) of that fine institution, can attest.

There is (or was) a joint called “Terrapin Taco” just off campus. Quality was low; we called it Terrible Taco.
