That is the most hand-made box I’ve seen in a while.

FWIW, polar bears hunt seals by hanging around seal breathing holes. The breathing holes are just big enough for the seals to poke their snouts through. If the bear is lucky, it grabs the seal snout and pulls the seal through the hole. This typically has the side effect of crushing the seals skeleton.

So, maybe booping the bears nose is not a great idea. If you’re lucky, just your fingers would get pulled out of your hand.

I can understand the temptation, and frankly it’s the kind of dumbass thing I could see myself doing. It would definitely be a pinky-finger-from-nondominant-hand boop, though.

If it couldn’t decide whether it wanted to be aggressive or walk away, it would be a bipolar bear.

Wouldnt you bring a large calibre gun to that situation as a backup?

Nah. The standard emergency manoeuvre in case of bear trouble is to grasp them firmly by the scruff of their neck, lift them off the ground and hold them at arm’s length until they calm down.
Disclaimer: you might need a stepladder for the larger ones.

I assume at least one of the other camerafolk was standing by in case things got less telegenic

THIS. One hundred thousand times THIS. Shark cages, those fake seals they bob to get sharks to “breach.” It’s all bullshit gimmicks to get some footage and it uses up the predators’ energy so we can say “nopity nope hurr durrr” on the Internet. Fuck this.
