Quote:The Diamondback Terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin) was made the State reptile and official mascot of the University of Maryland College Park in 1994 (Chapter 476, Acts of 1994; Code General Provisions Article, sec. 7-309). As mascot (also known as Testudo), the Terrapin, however, has been affiliated with the University's athletic program since 1933.
