Elephant? Bit of a mixed metaphor, almost a malaphor, no? I'd say "tackle the behemoth" or "slay the dragon" instead. Elephants aren't usually tackled, they merely reside in rooms.

Maybe "wrestling the alien" would work best for CL. Nose-against-arm.
Put the elephant to bed? "How the elephant got in my pajamas, I'll never know!"
