Watership Down by Richard Adams

An epic tale about ... rabbits. A small group of rabbits flees their warren based on a prediction of doom by a seer rabbit. They establish a new warren after a hazardous journey, fight a war over does, etc. etc. In short, everything that would be in a human epic is in this epic about - rabbits.

It's actually a lot of fun to read, although the first third is a little slow. The final scenes are as good as any human epic.
