Researchers named this snake after Harrison Ford, and the path to discovery was worthy of an “Indiana Jones” adventure film.
Four researchers navigated treacherous terrain and feared for their lives during a harrowing brush with suspected drug traffickers in one of the most dangerous, scientifically unexplored areas in the world, according to the lead scientist and an account published by a nonprofit conservation organization.
That was a clear sign of danger, Lehr said, and the group quickly began requesting a rescue pickup. It took four days — delayed by storms — for a military helicopter to retrieve the scientists. “We are glad that we got out of it,” Lehr said. “We had to shorten the expedition by a week and are probably very unlikely to return. “I feel sorry for all the biodiversity that remains unknown simply because of the presence of narco-traffickers,” he added.
