New research has made a surprising discovery about the role of certain animals in gardening. It appears that seeds which have been consumed and then passed through by these animals have a higher chance of thriving. This phenomenon occurs when the animals' usual food sources are limited, causing them to eat other types of food.

Further information about this research is available from the source. The animals in question are known to be effective at helping certain plants grow, despite their typical diet consisting of meat.

Details about the specific types of plants and animals involved can be found in the original report.
