"Harrison Ford Honored with Peruvian Snake Species Namesake"
A new species of snake discovered in Peru has been named Tachymenoides harrisonfordi in honor of actor Harrison Ford's environmental advocacy. Ford, who is the vice chair of Conservation International, expressed his gratitude for the recognition. This is not the first time a species has been named after Ford, as he already has an ant and a spider named after him. The discovery of the snake species aims to draw attention to the extinction crisis facing reptiles and highlight the importance of species protection.
