The ossa cordis bone in the heart is an example of a splanchnic bone of ruminants
Splanchnic bones, also known as heterotopic bones, are primarily found in certain species of reptiles, particularly in the form of osseous structures within the soft tissues associated with organs. They are most notably present in some species of turtles, where they form in the soft tissue near the cloaca. Additionally, splanchnic bones can also be found in other animals, such as in the pelvic region of some mammals, but their occurrence is less common compared to reptiles.
Alpacas are ruminant animals
Goats are ruminant animals.
Splanchnic bones, also known as visceral bones, are bones that develop within soft tissues rather than forming through the typical process of ossification in conjunction with the skeleton. The most notable examples include the hyoid bone, which supports the tongue, and the sesamoid bones, such as the patella (kneecap), which form within tendons. Other examples include the coracoids in some animals and the bones of the larynx and trachea in humans. These bones often serve specific functions related to the organs they are associated with.
Splanchnic bones, also known as visceral bones, are located within the soft tissues of the body, rather than being connected to the skeletal framework. The most prominent example of splanchnic bones is the os penis (baculum) found in many placental mammals. Another example is the os cordis found in some species of ruminants. These bones support soft organs and structures, often contributing to reproductive or cardiac functions.
characteristic of non ruminant animals
Yes they are.
giraffe and all that stuff

Ruminant animals have 4 stomachs but the microbed don't produce cellulose, they break it down.
Ruminant animals have a complex stomach with four compartments that allows them to regurgitate and re-chew their food, aiding in digestion. Non-ruminant animals have a simpler, single-chambered stomach. Ruminants also have a symbiotic relationship with microorganisms in their stomach that help break down cellulose in their diet.
Splanchnic organs refer to the organs in the abdominal cavity that receive sympathetic innervation from the splanchnic nerves. Some examples of splanchnic organs include the stomach, liver, spleen, pancreas, and intestines.
