Lucas the Spider, the world’s most adorable arachnid (also the world’s only adorable arachnid) demonstrates the correct protocol for dealing with polar bears: Step One, boop the polar bear on the nose; Step Two: Run like hell.

Sometimes you boop the bear, sometimes the bear boops you, Faye. (I have no idea what that means.)
