German term or phrase: durch Tiere gelangen

No entiendo bien el significado de "durch Tiere gelangen". No sé si se refiere a que lo llevaban con la ayuda de animales.
Contexto: Xocolati in America: Seinen Ursprung hat der kakaobaum im Amazongebiet. Von dort gelangte der Kakao durch Tiere nach Mittelamerika.
Mi traducción: Xocolati en la América Precolombina
El origen del árbol de cacao se encuentra en la zona del Amazonas. De allí llegó el cacao con animales a América Central.

se trata de dispersión por animales, sin ningún tipo de intervención humana:

At Hacienda Barú National Wildlife Refuge several different kinds of cacao grow wild within the primary rain forest, and about a dozen wild varieties have been identified by botanists throughout the lowlands of Costa Rica. Nobody knows for sure how these wild species happen to be growing here. The plants may have come from seed stock cultivated by pre-Columbian people, or possibly arrived in Central America by purely natural means. I have never found a wild cacao pod with an intact mature fruit. The wildlife eat them as fast as the tree produces them. Fortunately the animals drop enough seeds on the ground which germinate, develop into trees and perpetuate the species.

por la vía de animales

Explanation:
Ich glaube auch eher, dass hier gemeint ist, dass die Samen des Kakaos nach Mittelamerika von Tieren mit sich getragen wurde im Gegensatz zu der Übertragung durch Wind usw. Wenn es sich auf den Transport beziehen würde, hätte man den Satz im Deutschen anders formuliert, z.B.: "... wurde der Kakao mit Tieren nach Mittelamerika transportiert..."
