I think the badger kept advancing that pawn because they’re new at the game, and the rabbit let it be because they’re teaching the badger how to play. I’m saying this because the rabbit is in a clearly better position, but it seems they’re holding back, the white pawn in 5a is also vulnerable and they seem to be ignoring it.
Might be the other way 'round with who is the grand master.
There had to be a ton of development with the pawns at the start of the game. That usually leads to every pawn getting jammed in the middle of the board which allows the players to move out their back rank.
Badger went full Leroy Jenkins with his rook, causing the collapse of the pawn defenses. (A pawn taking a rook might cascade the pawn defense destruction since rabbit was willing to sacrifice one or more pawns for that rook. I certainly would.)
An experienced player probably couldn’t resist walking the pawn down, because 1. He could and 2. YOLO. Plus, it’s a good lesson for rabbit, regardless. Pawns actually do mean something and creating chaos on the back rank with a single pawn is a lesson I wouldn’t ever forget.

Either way it’s cute to think one is teaching the other.
Totally. :)
