Yes, animal cells accomplish cell division by the formation of a cleavage furrow.

Here's why:

* Cytokinesis: Cell division in animal cells involves two main stages: mitosis (nuclear division) and cytokinesis (cytoplasm division).

* Cleavage Furrow: During cytokinesis, a contractile ring made of actin filaments and myosin proteins forms just beneath the cell membrane. This ring contracts, pinching the cell membrane inward and creating a furrow that gradually deepens.

* Final Division: The cleavage furrow continues to constrict until it completely separates the two daughter cells.

This process is distinct from plant cells, which form a cell plate during cytokinesis.
