The behavior that can end up being more harmful than helpful is:
Iguanas and tortoises eat leaves, fruits, and flowers, relying on each as important seasonal food sources.
While the other behaviors facilitate plant reproduction through pollination or seed dispersion, the feeding habits of iguanas and tortoises can lead to overgrazing or depletion of certain plant species, potentially harming the overall ecosystem and reducing plant diversity.
