How did Roman soldiers protect themselves from arrows?

Roman soldiers protected themselves from arrows by locking shields with the people next to them (first row of soldiers). Then, the row behind them locked shields and held them over the heads of the first row. The third row back locked shields and held them straight up, forming a nearly impenetrable wall. This formation was called the Tortoise, because of the likeness to a tortoise's shell.


How a Texas Tortoise protects itself?

In its shell? If you encounter a Texas Tortoise in the wild do your best to observe it at a distance. To defend itself....... A Texas Tortoise may stand up tall to look menacing and may force air out it's nose in a hissing fashion. But most definitely if you pick it up will urinate and or defecate on you. This is not only icky but dangerous for the tortoise as water is hard to come by in their natural habitat. Texas Tortoises get their moisture mostly from the foods they eat, if a tortoise empties it's bladder on you, it can dehydrate and die. So in short...Texas Tortoises protect themselves by peeing on you!
