Indy and the snakes, a long story
Indiana Jones, the legendary archaeologist-adventurer, hates two things in life. In the first place, the Nazis. On the other hand, the snakes. But if he’s not at all afraid to chase down the Nazis and prevent their sinister designs, the snakes, that’s another story.
In fact, if he has a phobia, it’s those creepy crawlies that make his blood run cold. A phobia revealed in a cult moment of the film Raiders of the Lost Ark. In the Steven Spielberg film released in 1981, he discovers the floor of the “Well of Souls” where thousands of snakes swarm and frolic this famous phrase : “Snakes. Why did they have to be snakes…“
A phobia whose appearance can be dated to the hero’s turbulent adolescence. In the introduction aIndiana Jones and the Last Crusadeyoung Henry Walton Jones Jr. (played by River Phoenix) is seen breaking through the roof of a train carrying a circus and falling a tub full of snakes. A funny and charming character trait of the character played by Harrison Ford, who slipped into reality.
Indeed, American and Peruvian scientists recently discovered a new species of snake in the Peruvian Andes and named it after the actor: Tachymenoides harrisonfordi.
Indiana Jones 4: why did Sean Connery refuse to star in the film?
“I sing nursery rhymes to my basil plants”
Via the conservation internationalbiodiversity conservation organization of which he is vice president, Harrison Ford reacted amusingly to the news.
These scientists keep naming insects after me, but they’re still the ones that terrify children. I do not understand. I spend my time cross-stitching, singing nursery rhymes to my basil plants so they don’t get scared at night.
In addition to this snake, the Indiana Jones interpreter has already been honored by the scientific community which has also named an ant, the Pheidole harrisonfordiand a spider, the Calponia harrisonfordi. After this well-delivered touch of humor, Harrison Ford underlined the importance of the discovery.
More seriously, this discovery is a lesson. It reminds us that there is still much to learn from our animal world. And that humans are only a small part of this incredibly vast biosphere. On this planet, all destinies are linked and today one million species are on the verge of extinction. We have a fundamental duty to mend our broken relationship with nature and to protect the place that sustains life.
