someone mentioned in the subs that the badger was likely rabid unfortunately, thats why it kept trying to attack the elephant, its on its way out. Elephant have very thick skin, so unlikely the bite will even penetrate a bush elephants skin. and rabies in elephants is extremely rare(only ever found in a captive elephant asian)
possums, and other metatherians, marsupials and relative are resistant but not immune to rabies. birds have been experimentally infected, but they are immune to the virus.

A rabid elephant sounds absolutely terrifying.
