Celebrity News: Snake Species Named After Harrison Ford

Harrison Ford, 81, actor, is not afraid of snakes. While “Indiana Jones”, who he embodied in several films, suffers from panicky ophidiophobia, a Peruvian snake species has now been named after Ford. The approximately 40 centimeter long reptile with the scientific name Tachymenoides harrisonfordi was discovered in mid-May by a research team from the USA, Germany and Peru in the grass steppes of the Andean highlands, the German Society for Herpetology and Terrarium Studies (DGHT) announced. The yellow-brown snake with isolated black spots and a black belly is said to be harmless to humans in the DGHT online journal Salamandra. According to reptile researcher Edgar Lehr, Ford knows about snake baptism. Lehr said to the German Press Agency: “Privately he likes these animals, so you’re surprised.”
