A scandal enveloped the zoo after tourists were found to be mounting giant tortoises and forcing them to walk by poking them with a screwdriver.

Invasive plants and animals are almost universally lambasted for what they do to ecosystems, but giant tortoises in the Galapagos Islands might have a different opinion.
