Fallacy!

How could the ~~deadliest~~ rat bite an elephant, have you considered how tough an elephant skin is?
How far can the rat's teeth go into the elephant's tough skin?

Did you bother to read the article before exposing your ignorance?

No, not modified. It's natural adaptation to environmental threats

If you don't doubt the integrity, examine the reliability of the article nor have the capacity to critique it, then you have to go and tutor yourself on the word 'ignorance'.

Abeg shift! cool

Still groveling in your ignorance. Let me help you out. The article alluded that a small quantity of the poisonous substance can bring down an elephant. This fact was illustrated when an arrow's tip dipped in the poison brought down an elephant.

This article was just trying to inform you that this rat can, hypothetically bring down an elephant. No one mentioned biting and elephant thick skin.
I hope this helps
Don't bother to thank me.

However the article was crafted, it conveyed the most important message: some rat species kills - even in Western Europe. I have witnessed that.

You have actually defeated your own argument, bcoz you mentioned the use of an arrow. I need you to explain to your readers how the rat can possibly bring down an elephant, or are you just trying to be daft?

Has there been any record of the said rat bringing down an elephant? Any poison can bring down anyone/animal, no doubt.

Venom,Venom, Venom!
Venom is a highly potent and effective weapon of hunt and defense in the animal kingdom.
Venom is designed to stun, cause pain often excruciating or even kill predators.
Venom is most often deployed to hunt prey like in snakes, scorpions,spiders,cone snails, octopuses, cuttlefish, ants( some species), wasps, jellyfish,sea anemones, and more.
Bees don't hunt but employ venom for defense just like stingrays, catfish ( many species in a few families), male platypuses.
Venom is found across various vertebrate and invertebrate animal classes, with even a few individuals among MAMMALS.
Short tail shrews,Solenodons and platypuses are the only known mammals possessing venom, including the lorises of SE Asia.
Lorises are primates resembling bushbabies but having a stubby tail and are the only venomous primates on earth.
The crested rat mentioned here isn't venomous but poisonous.
Venom is transmitted by biting or stinging while in poisonous animals, the toxin is ingested by potential predators and suffer the unpleasant effects.
Crested rats sequester toxins from the bark of the poison arrow tree on which they chew and smear them on the glandular area under the mane and white bordered strip of hairs along the body.
The hairs on the glandular area hold the toxin smeared on them and when a predator attempts to bite,it is ingested and will sicken or even kill it.
Crested rats don't bite and are not venomous.
They are simply poisonous.

I'm sure you lack basic English language comprehension. Probably you didn't see the word "CAN" there. Where did they mention that a rat did bring down an elephant. The writer was only trying to tell you that rat can pack a lethal dose that can kill an elephant. If it the quantity that can fit into the tip of an arrow can kill an elephant, then the rat can also bring down an elephant since it packs enough quantity similar or even more than the dosage that can fit into the tip of an elephant.
I am sure this makes sense.
