Descriptive of plants that produce seeds that are caught in the hairs of animals: A typical example of an epizoochorous plant is the Trifolium angustifolium, a species of Old World clover which adheres to animal fur by means of stiff hairs covering the seeds.

It is believed that epizoochorous transport can be highly effective if seeds attach to wide-ranging animals.

This epizoochorous form of seed dispersal has been implicated in rapid plant migrations and the spread of invasive species of plants.
