List of Watership Down Characters - Hutch Rabbits

Hutch Rabbits

  • Clover: A strong and active Angora doe, who mates with Hawkbit and provides the Watership Down warren with its second known litter. In the movie, Clover and the hutch rabbits are all recaptured soon after their escape and are never seen again. In the TV series, she is the only rabbit to escape from the farm.
  • Boxwood: A "black and white Himalayan" buck, and Haystack's mate.
  • Haystack: A Himalayan doe who is Boxwood's mate.
  • Laurel: A "short-haired black Angora" buck. He is freed by the Watership rabbits along with the other hutch rabbits, but is recaptured soon after.

Note: normally, Angora rabbits never are short haired. It seems that no one knows who mated with who but the book suggests that it was Clover and Holly, Bigwig and Thethuthinnang, Hazel and Hyzenthlay and Fiver and Vilthuril.

Famous quotes containing the word rabbits:

    One has but to observe a community of beavers at work in a stream to understand the loss in his sagacity, balance, co-operation, competence, and purpose which Man has suffered since he rose up on his hind legs.... He began to chatter and he developed Reason, Thought, and Imagination, qualities which would get the smartest group of rabbits or orioles in the world into inextricable trouble overnight.
    James Thurber (1894–1961)
