I have always loved this little guy, even after he became a regular on my Instagram feed. I don’t know if I’ll ever get tired of his cute antics, but I sure would like to.
The little guy is named after a part of my family name and has the ability to become a blue crip – a creature that mimics the appearance of a person with black eyes and a sharpened nose. While there is no official link between blue crips and black eyes, there is a pretty good chance that this is the same creature.
This is the first time I’ve heard of “black eyes”, but I have seen and heard of crips before, and they are fairly common in the wild. There are a few different kinds, including the blue crip, which is the most common and is not considered to be dangerous.
