More About Small Wild Cats. Three small wild cats are currently listed as ENDANGERED on the IUCN List of Threatened Species â the fishing cat, flat-headed cat and Scottish wild cat. Small wild cats also include the âwildcatsâ (felis silvestris) from Asia, Africa and Europe.
There are three major pairs of salivary glands in the mouth: 1  The parotid glands, the largest pair of salivary glands,lie just behind the angle of the jaw, below and in front of the ears. 2  The sublingual glands and the submandibular glands, the two smaller pairs, lie deep in the floor of the mouth.
Salivary glands produce saliva, which moistens the mouth to help a person chew and swallow food. Saliva also contains substances (enzymes) that begin the breakdown of food. There are four pairs of salivary glands: 1  The parotid glands are located between the ear and the jaw. The submandibular glands are located under the jaw. 2  The sublingual glands are located on the floor of the mouth under the tongue. 3  The buccal glands are not shown in this picture. 4  They are located in the mucous membrane lining the cheeks and mouth. 5  These glands produce only a small amount of saliva.
