This print depicts three turtles, each with distinct patterns and colors on their shells and skin: 1. **Top Turtle**: This turtle has a relatively dark shell with light markings that emphasize the ridges of the scutes (the individual plates that make up the turtle's carapace or shell). The plastron (the belly part of the shell) appears to be lightly colored with dark seams. The skin of the turtle is striped with light and dark bands, suggesting a pattern that may help with camouflage or identification among species. 2. **Bottom Left Turtle (labeled 'a')**: This specimen has a shell with a more vibrant green color and bold, light-colored markings.
