Answer:

Animals disperse seeds in two main ways - 1.) ... Some seeds are large and not particularly tasty (for example, a peach pit). This prevents the seed from being eaten along with the fruit in the first place. An animal can carry a fruit like this to a new location to eat it, and then just eat around or spit the pit out.

Yes, peach seeds can be dispersed by animals.

The following is the method by which peach seeds are usually dispersed by animals:

  • Dispersal of seeds could be defined as a movement through which the seeds of a plant (mostly spermatophyte type of plants) are transported to different locations, to distant places from the actual parent plant.
  • Various animals disperse seeds in different methods. One of the major methods is carrying any fruit, particularly the larger ones, to a different place, and then either eating and excreting the waste material in another place or simply spitting out the seed.
  • Seeds of peaches are dispersed by animals in this way. The peach's seed does not taste good and is toxic, due to the presence of various cyanide elements. Thus, most animals, do not eat the seed.
  • Messy eaters like rats partially eat the fruit and leave the rest on the ground, or they litter the ground with peach pits.

This is how peach seeds get dispersed by animals.
