Each row consists of hundreds of teeth and these predominantly soft and are used to grip the prey; they slope inwards toward the back of the mouth. In front of the throat cavity are two crushing plates, which the cats use to squash its prey prior to swallowing. They also have a number of short spikes on the edge of the gills.
