I love animal books where the characters aren't just human stand-ins, but actual animals who think like animals and act like animals; this is the fundamental difference between novels like Redwall and Watership Down. I love both, but Watership Down is on a different level. Often imitated, and often failed.
The only thing I've read that comes close is The White Bone by Barbara Gowdy. It also has a glossary in the front for animal words, it delves into a unique culture and mythology, survival gets really grim, etc, only with elephants instead of rabbits.
