According to The Hollywood Reporter, researchers in Peru’s Andes mountains have discovered a new species of snake that is black and yellowish-brown in color and measures 16 inches long. The snake has been dubbed Tachymenoides harrisonfordi, after Indiana Jones actor Harrison Ford—due to his long history of environmental advocacy.

“These scientists keep naming critters after me, but it’s always the ones that terrify children. 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,” Ford told the outlet.

He has also had an ant (Pheidole harrisonfordi) and a spider (Calponia harrisonfordi) named after him.

“In all seriousness, this discovery is humbling. 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. On this planet, all fates are intertwined, and right now, one million species are teetering on the edge of oblivion. We have an existential mandate to mend our broken relationship with nature and protect the places that sustain life.”
