  • Watership Down is a novel by Richard Adams, detailing the journey of a band of rabbits from their home to find a new warren. All of the main characters are rabbits, and all the rabbits act very much like real rabbits, based on Adams's reading of The Private Life of the Rabbit by naturalist Ronald Lockley.
