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

How do seeds of cherry disperse?

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.
