  1. Pine seeds, acorns and other nuts are often cached by squirrels and other animals.  Any fleshy fruit can be eaten by a variety of animals with the seeds surviving passage through the digestive tract.  A lady who got free fertilizer from the sewer treatment plant has a lush growth of pepper plants, tomato plants and watermelon plants that survived the treatment plant as well as the digestive tract of humans!  As previously mentioned by another responder, there are those plants that have fruits with hooks, spines, or are sticky that cling to the fur or feet of animals.  These include cockle burrs, stick tights, beggar's lice, and one called devil's claw!  Check the website:  http://curriculum.calstatela.edu/courses...


  2. all the fruits that grow on trees

  3. Burdock: (burs) burs attach to animal's fur/hair, and detach in different places

    Persimmons: eaten by animal and then digested/ regurgitated

    Any kind of berry: eaten by animal and taken through digestive tract

    Peaches, apples, etc.
