Drug Trading Center

The discovery of the new snake species occurred in Otishi National Park, located in the Junin and Cusco regions. These two regions are considered unsafe for tourists by the US Department of State due to being drug trafficking centers.

The snake was first discovered in May 2022. However, only in August 2023, researchers concluded that the snake is actually a new species.

Reported by CNN, Edgar Lehr, the lead researcher in this project, confirms that the species was indeed not previously recorded through genetic sequencing. Lehr believes that the snake can be found in wetland areas in the highlands of southern Peru.

Given the html tags, the translation of the text "Diberi Nama Aktor Indiana Jones" to English while preserving the html tags would be: "Named Actor Indiana Jones".

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags: "An interesting fact, the snake named Tachymenoides harrisonfordi is named after the legendary American actor who played the role of Indiana Jones in the movie, Harrison Ford."

According to Lehr, choosing to name this animal by referring to Harrison Ford is the right decision. This is due to the fact that Ford is a dedicated conservation activist in his daily life and serves as the vice chairman of the board of directors of the non-profit organization Conservation International.

"Hoping for Research Funding Increase"

Lehr stated that giving new species names by referring to celebrity names can provide benefits in raising public awareness of the extent of diversity of flora and fauna worldwide that still remains undiscovered. The hope is that this will encourage increased funding for scientific research.

In a different occasion, Ford expressed his honor because the snake species was named after his inspiration.

"The scientists keep naming creatures after me. But it's always scary for children," joked Ford in a BBC report.
