Hazel and Bigwig devise a plan to rescue the would-be escapers and they join them on Watership Down ready to begin a new life in freedom. However, they did manage to identify an Efrafran doe named Hyzenthlay, who wants to leave the warren and is willing to recruit others to join the escape. The emissary returns from Efrafra lucky to be alive and tell Hazel that Efrafra is a police state led by despotic chief Feneral Woundwort. The following day Hazel leads a raid on the farm, returning to the warren with two does and a buck. Whilst waiting for the group to return, Hazel and Pipkin scout out nearby Nuthanger Farm, finding two pairs of hutch rabbits there. Hazel sends a small contingent to Efrafa to present their request for does to join the Watership Down warren. With the help of a seagull called Kehaar, they discover a nearby warren in Efrafa, which is overcrowded and has many doe rabbits. They soon meet a rabbit called Cowslip, who generously invites them to join his warren when Bigwig is almost killed in a snare, the traveling rabbits realize that the residents of Cowslip's warren are simply using them to increase their own odds of survival and they decide to continue on with their journey.įiver's visions promise a safe place in which to settle, and the group eventually finds Watership Down, an ideal location to set up their new warren.They soon reunite with fellow Sandford warren rabbits Holly and Bluebell, who inform them that Fiver's vision came true and that the Sandleford warren was completely destroyed by humans.Īlthough Watership Down is peaceful, and everyone is happy, Hazel realizes that there are no female rabbits, this condemning the warren to certain obeisance once the male rabbits living there die. They travel through dangerous territory, with former Owsla members Bigwig and Silver the physically strongest among them. The traveling rabbits find themselves following the strong leadership of Hazel who was until now a relatively unimportant member of the warren, with very little influence. He and his brother Fiver are unable to convince their chief rabbit of the urgent need to evacuate, so they decide to set out on their own with a small band of rabbits to seek out a new home, only just managing to elude the Owsla, the warren's military presence, as they do so.
In the Sandleford warren, a young runt rabbit called Fiver, who is a seer, receives a very disturbing vision of his warren's imminent destruction.
