| Where are similar structures also found in the rabbit, and what is their purpose? | The chin glands, which are specialized submandibular glands opening onto the underside of the chin, and the anal glands. All produce oily secretions containing pheromones that are used for scent marking of the environment and other rabbits. Does mark their kits with chin and inguinal gland secretions and will be hostile to other young that are not their own. |
