| Large glands in the [[Lips|lip]] region of cats and some rodents; presumed to have a territory marking role. Circumoral glands are enlarged integumentary glands bordering on the mucocutaneous junctions of the mouth or oral margins associated with greeting and related behaviours, especially in scuiriomorph rodents. | | Large glands in the [[Lips|lip]] region of cats and some rodents; presumed to have a territory marking role.

| + | '''Rabbits''' have scent glands on the chin which are used to mark territory by excreting droplets onto structures in the environment. Male rabbits scent-mark more intensively than female rabbits, and dominant individuals more than subdominant animals. This is correlated with larger scent glands in dominant males. |

− | Sexually-related scent glands prominent in ungulates and lagomorphs. They are located at the base of the udders to allow offspring to locate the teats of their mother. | + | Sexually-related scent glands prominent in ungulates.

− | *[[Anus - Anatomy & Physiology#Species Differences|'''Anal sacs''']] | + | '''Rabbits''' have pocket-like inguinal glands lateral to the genital openings. They are used to mark kits and cage surfaces and may contain dried yellow-brown sebaceous material. Does will attack young which have not been scent-marked, even if they are in the same breeding group. |

| Sebaceous (and modified apocrine in the dog) glands lie within the wall of the anal sacs, with a duct carrying material to the anal opening. The foul smelling secretion may act as a territorial marker. Secretions are expressed on defecation. The secretions are composed of fatty and serous materials with cellular debris. | | Sebaceous (and modified apocrine in the dog) glands lie within the wall of the anal sacs, with a duct carrying material to the anal opening.
