True rib : the first seven ribs attach to the sternum (the breast bone) in the front and are known as true ribs (or sternal ribs)

False ribs: the lower five ribs do not directly connect to the sternum and are known as false ribs  

Floating ribs :The floating ribs are less stable and risk breaking because they have only one attachment  

Dorsally to the vertebrae and have very thin bone tissue locked in muscle as they extend  

Laterally.

Seven pairs are called true ribs. Each rib is attached to the breastbone in the front and curves around to join on to one of the vertebrae that make up the backbone via a strip of costal cartilage.

There are three pairs of false ribs. These are attached to vertebrae but are not linked to the breastbone. Instead, each rib is attached to the rib above it by cartilage.

There are two pairs of floating ribs. These are attached only to the vertebrae of the backbone.

Andrew [12]

Answer:

Fur color that closely matches the eucalyptus bark color

Explanation:

In terms of evolving from land dwellers to tree dwellers, the number of offspring does not matter. Although the ability to run faster is a good evolution for escaping predators, it does not help the koalas evolve to be better tree dwellers (how would you run using only the trees?). Communicating with their peers would be convenient for survival, but it does not help koalas become better tree dwellers. What does help koalas survive better by traveling through the trees is camouflaging with the bark of the tree to hide from predators.
