Harrison Ford has a new Peruvian snake species named after him
By Chloe KimBBC News, New York
Harrison Ford 's legendary Indiana Jones character may fear snakes, but The Actor now has a real reptile named after him.
A new found species of snake in Peru has been named Tachymenoides harrisonfordi to honour The Actor 's environmental advocacy.
Ford , who is The Vice chair of non-profit group Conservation International , called it " humbling".
The Actor also has an ant and a spider named after him.
" These scientists keep naming critters after me, but it's always The ones that terrify children, " Ford told Conservation International . " I don't understand. I spend my free time cross-stitching. I sing lullabies To My basil plants, so they won't fear The Night . "
Unlike his character, Indiana Jones , Ford has repeatedly said he actually liked snakes and " found a quick kinship with this one".
" The Snake 's got eyes you can drown in, and he spends most of The Day sunning himself by a pool of Dirty Water — we probably would've been friends in The early '60s, " He Said . " It's a reminder that there's still so much to learn about our Wild World - and that humans are one small part of an impossibly vast biosphere, "
The Discovery , a joint collaboration between researchers from Peru and The United States , was made in Peru's Otishi National Park .
The Tachymenoides harrisonfordi is a slender snake, measuring a modest 16in (40. 6cm) when fully grown. It is not harmful to humans.
" For a biologist, describing a new species and Making It public with its new name is one of The Most vital activities during The biodiversity crisis, " said Edgar Lehr, The Lead scientist on The Project . " Only organisms that are known can be protected. "
He hopes The Discovery will draw attention to The extinction crisis facing species around The World .
Reptiles are particularly prone to extinction, with More Than a fifth of all reptiles currently under threat, a study co-authored by Conservation International researchers found.
It was in 1993 that a new species was first named after Ford - The Calponia harrisonfordi, which is a California spider. Years later, an ant was dubbed after The Actor - named Pheidole harrisonfordi.
