Planner graph on Loggerhead Turtle's carapace


The Loggerhead sea turtle or Caretta Caretta is the world's largest hard-shelled turtle. It's carapace contains five vertebral scutes running down the midline, while five pairs of costal scutes border them. The resulting planar graph due to this scalation is 3-regular 28 vertices and 42 edges.
