	All About Testudo, University of Maryland
		Testudo got his start back in 1932, when then football coach Dr. H.
		In 1947, when Testudo was captured by Johns Hopkins students, many Maryland students rushed to Baltimore and laid siege the building where the mascot was held.
		So Testudo was filled with 700 pounds of cement and attached to his new perch in front of Byrd Stadium with long steel rods and hooks.

	The In Nomine Collection: Testudo, Ethereal Mascot
		Testudo is a fairly young ethereal, but it's got a nice spot at the metaphorical table.
		Testudo is really one of the good guys: he likes humans and considers himself to be in a symbiotic relationship with them.
		Testudo is, after all, fairly obviously hanging out on the corporeal plane.

	Testudo the Terrapin. Roadside Pet Cemetery
		At a prearranged moment, Gorham crawled away from the statue, dragging the cloth and unveiling it to the appreciative oohs and ahhs of the assembled dignitaries.
		Gorham's statue, Testudo, spent his first 15 years in front of Ritchie Coliseum, where he was frequently vandalized by rival schools.
		They anchored Testudo with steel rods to a pedestal in front of the Theodore R. McKeldin Library, and filled him with 700 pounds of cement.

	Tortoise Trust Web - Testudo h. hermanni
		The distribution of Testudo hermanni hermanni GMELIN 1789 in France is restricted to the area of Provence and the Massif des Maures, between Toulon and Saint-Raphael on the coast to Draguignan, Le Luc and Sollies Pont inland.
		Measurements of Testudo hermanni hermanni from the Balearic islands and Spain tend to confirm that these dimensions are fairly typical of the western population as a whole (Vroom, 1983, Kramer & Vickers, 1983, Pelaz, 1988).

	Wikinfo \| Testudo (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In Ancient Roman warfare, the testudo or tortoise formation was a formation utilized commonly by the Roman Legions during battles, particularly sieges.
		When used correctly, the testudo was an excellent shield against missile troops, and the legions could move with little fear of being slaughtered by arrow fire and javelins.
		Other problems were that the front rank's faces and legs were still exposed; the formation couldn't move very quickly; and more powerful weapons (such as Eastern composite bows) could puncture the scutum and pin the soldiers' hands to their shields under prolonged fire, as occurred at Carrhae.

	MAC TO MILLENNIUM: Testudo
		Testudo is the centerpiece of our campus, and the act of rubbing his nose for good luck is our most-enduring tradition.
		To avoid a repeat of such incidents, campus officials later filled Testudo with cement and steel rods, bringing his total weight to approximately 1,000 pounds, and permanently attached him to his base.
		So strong is his power that four exact copies of the original statue have been installed in campus athletic facilities (one outside the Comcast Center and one on either side of the Gossett Football Team House) and at the Samuel Riggs IV Alumni Center--to spread his magic.

	CTTC - Observations of Testudo (graeca) ibera in Lycia by Andy C. Highfield
		The most populous and widely distributed species of Mediterranean tortoises is Testudo (graeca) ibera Pallas 1814, which occurs from the Republic of Georgia, Bulgaria, North-eastern Greece, throughout Turkey (with the exception of the Black Sea coast), Iran, Syria, Iraq and Jordan.
		Specimens of ibera from higher altitudes tend to exhibit melanistic scute markings, often with a complete absence of the central areola and anterior banding typical of the species.

		Or the top turtle could be named after testudo gigantia, a species native to the African nation of Seychelles and one of its remote islands, Aldabra.
		Or the name could have come from a dictionary definition that says the word, testudo, was derived from the Latin and meant a shelter held over the head of Roman soldiers -- like a tortoise shell.
		When Testudo had his coming out on May 23, 1933, he was thrown into a world filled with intimidating mascots -- Wildcats, Tigers, Devils, Wolves, Bears -- thought up over a half-century of intercollegiate competition.

	Down with Testudo!
		As I recall, Testudo stood on his pedestal on a slight hill behind the brick wall on Route 1.
		Like Testudo, I will have been around a long time; I have stood outside of McKeldin in the soaking rain, in the bitter winter wind, in the driving snow, on the hazardous ice and through the beauty of the spring and fall.
		Testudo is the name of the half-ton bronze terrapin (turtle) which sits atop a concrete pedestal in front of the McKeldin Library on the University of Maryland College Park (UMCP) campus.

	Testudo Mascot gets an Official Costume- Late 1970's
		Testudo, the Diamondback Terrapin, became the official mascot for the University of Maryland in 1932 when Coach Harry "Curley" Byrd decided it was necessary to change our mascot from the "Old Liners." Since then, the Diamondback Terrapin has become the official reptile of Maryland due to its affiliation with the University.
		Before this costume, Testudo Mascots made their own, because as the athletic department told one Mascot (Mark Tishler), there was no funding for an official costume.
		This is apparent in both the logos of the past, as well as the homemade Testudo costumes, compared to the Testudo of today with his large beak and angry facial expression.

	BCG Testudo: POST-HIBERNATION ANOREXIA (PHA) (TESTUDO SPECIES)
		In captivity, these animals may be exposed to a short period of warm weather to prepare for a notably long period of dormancy, inactivity and hibernation.
		The reader is encouraged to consider underlying dehydration (presented in most Testudo spp as hyperuricaemia, hyperkalaemia and anuria) in parallel with the management of other conditions and lesions.
		Lawrence (1987) suggests that it is unrewarding to treat post-hibernation anorexia in Testudo cases demonstrating a blood urea of more than 560 mg/dl (200 mmol/l), but that tortoises with a post-hibernation urea level of 420 mg/dl (150 mmol/l) often respond well to treatment.

	Testudo kleinmanni: Life in Captivity
		Testudo Kleinmanni has the unique distinction of being the only Temperate, Terrestrial Tortoise which rests during the summer heat in a period of aestivation, and is more active during the winter.
		Testudo kleinmanni is only one of many species adversely affected by over-harvesting for the pet trade and other illegal purposes.
		With Testudo kleinmanni, this is sometimes made it more difficult by an absence of thorough information.

		Le Testudo Hermanni hanno il carapace con macchie nere che vanno al giallo anche se la brillantezza e lucentezza del giallo può affievolirsi con l'età, verso una colorazione più grigia e striata.
		La Testudo Hermanni è stata suddivisa in due sottospecie: la Testudo Hermanni Hermanni (sottospecie occidentale) e la Testudo Hermanni Boettgeri (sottospecie orientale) le cui differenze verranno trattate nella sezione anatomia.
		Le TH conducono uno stile di vita molto attivo (malgrado l’apparenza o i luoghi comuni) quindi dobbiamo garantire loro un’area ampia e variegata dove possono essere libere di correre, nutrirsi, cacciare, scavare, arrampicarsi, prendere il sole, nascondersi e avere sempre a disposizione acqua potabile.

		Undergraduate university senators moved forward with their plan to give students more complete course descriptions on Testudo by presenting a template of the system to the most powerful committee in the University Senate on Tuesday.
		But some senators were concerned about difficulties instructors would face posting information on Testudo, despite the Office of Information Technology's assurance that the process would be easy.
		Phyllis Johnson, the director of communication for OIT, said the technology and tools to implement the proposed changes had been in place "for years" and it was just a matter of faculty choosing to use them.

		Testudo hermanni differs with 5 narrow (mostly the second, third and forth plates, the fifth is wider) longitudinal plates at mid part of the carapace in contrast to the larger row with second, third and forth plates wider than longer of Testudo graeca (fig.1).

	Tortoise Phylogentics
		To test phylogenetic relationships within the genus Testudo (Testudines: Testudinidae), we have sequenced a fragment of the mitochondrial (mt) 12S rRNA gene of 98 tortoise specimens belonging to the genera Testudo, Indotestudo, and Geochelone.
		Maximum likelihood and neighbor-joining methods identify two main clades of Mediterranean tortoises, one composed of the species Testudo graeca, Testudo marginata, and Testudo kleinmanni and a second of Testudo hermanni, Testudo horsfieldii, and Indotestudo elongata.
		Together with the genus Geochelone, a star-like radiation of these clades was suggested, as a sister-group relationship between the two Testudo clades could not be confirmed.
