They don't form in the animal, they hatch or grow. If an animal eats food with tapeworm eggs on it, the eggs hatch and develop in its intestines.

If a human eats food that is not completely cooked, he or she could get a tapeworm. Most human cases are in kids who have eaten dirt containing the worm eggs.
