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.

Asked by Wiki User

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.
