A newly discovered species of snake in Peru has been named Tachymenoides harrisonfordi in honor of actor Harrison Ford, who is also an enthusiastic environmental activist and charity worker Conservation International. Ants and spiders have already been named after him. “These scientists give my name to newly discovered species, but they’re always the ones to scare the kids. I really don’t understand why! I cross-stitch and sing lullabies to my basil plants in my spare time so they’re not afraid of the dark,” Harrison Ford joked BBC News. Unlike the famous Indiana Jones character he played, the actor is not afraid of snakes, on the contrary, he likes them and usually even manages to make eye contact.
