When seeds are dispersed by an animal they are usually either consumed by the animal then expelled in the animal's waste or caught in the animal's fur and later released as the animal shed. In both scenarios the animal acts as a transport for the seeds and can carry seeds much further than the small launch in a plant's explosive mechanism
In nature the fruit falls to the ground when ripe and are eaten by grazing animals then the seed passes through the animal in it's dung.
Tulip seeds are dispersed by wind or animal activity. Once the tulip flower has wilted, a seed pod containing the seeds forms at the base of the flower. When the pod dries out, it splits open, releasing the seeds to be carried by the wind or by animals.
The seed pods of this tree are curved and when the sides dry at different rates, it creates tension and it splits open.
when a hairy animal is moving... burdock is very sticky type and it sticks on
The four main dispersal methods are wind dispersal, water dispersal, animal dispersal, and self-dispersal. Wind dispersal involves seeds or spores being carried by the wind, water dispersal involves seeds or spores being carried by water currents, animal dispersal involves seeds or spores being carried by animals, and self-dispersal involves seeds or spores being dispersed by the plant itself.

A yew seed is dispersed when it is eaten by an animal.

the seeds inside the fruit are dispersed by animal's skin or through droppings
The animal that can shoot quills as a defense mechanism is the porcupine.
Mostly through animal droppings after being ingested by the animal.

Another mechanism by which seeds are dispersed by animals involves their encasement in a fleshy, edible fruit. Such fruits are often brightly colored, have pleasant odors, and are nutritious and attractive to herbivorous (plant-eating) animals. These animals eat the fruit, seeds and all. After the fruit passes through the animal's digestive system, the seeds are dispersed at some distance from the parent plant.The seeds of many plants with this sort of animal-dispersal strategy actually require passage through the gut of an animal before they will germinate. Some familiar examples of species that develop animal-dispersed fruits include the cherries, tomatoes, and watermelon.
