he asks him to join warrens and make a warren that all of the rabbits from efrafa and his warren can live in
It is a rather violent tale about animal life ( Rabbits) in the wild., the title suggests, for example a Naval battle. I did a newspaper article called Battleship Down! about the USS New Jersey- citing it would not be a good tourist attraction in 1978. Honestly I thought Watership Down was about a sea battle, akin to Sink the Bismarck! thus the sinking of the prime target would be the climax. it was not.l Odd title- but a violent film.
To make us worried and scared about the rabbits on their journey.
because the author wanted to call it that The name is taken from the rabbits' destination, Watership Down, a hill in north Hampshire, England, near where Author, Richard Adams, grew up.
Calypso was the ship used by Jacques Cousteau for oceanographic work. It was a converted French navy Minesweeper. the film title Watership Down! suggests a Naval battle, but it is actually abour warfare among rabbits. the origin of the title is not quite stated, perhaps it was near a shipyard or marina.

The "chief rabbit" is the dominant animal (rabbits only) in Watership Down. He is the leader of the warren. This status is indicated by the suffix "rah" which is added to the end of the rabbits actual name. An example of this is the rabbit "Hazel" who later gains the title of "Hazel-rah" when he becomes leader of his group.
His daughters, who he told the story to on the way to Stradford-On-Avon, encouraged him to write the story down. He was finally convinced to when he was reading a story to his daughters (the story wasn't very good) until he finally got so frustrated that he threw the book across the room and said, "Good G-d, I could write better myself." One of his daughters said, "Well why don't you, if you keep saying you did so." So he did, and so we have the book Watership Down by Richard Adams.
