The Real Watership Down

Richard Adams never would of wrote "Watership Down" had it not been for R. M. Lockley's "The Private Life of the Rabbit." This is the first time someone has truly studied rabbit behavior. As far as discoveries go, Lockely is to rabbits as Jane Goodall is to the chimpanzees of Gombe. Lockley explains migrations of yearlings, chin glands, chewing pellets, re-absorption of embryos and other points of Lapine life. Though written in 1964 this is a good edition to add to any rabbit library. This book is the roots of our understanding of wild and domestic rabbit behavior.
