Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who was the first rabbit to escape from Efrafa?

Answer: Holly

Holly escaped along with Strawberry, Buckthorn and Silver. Although Blackavar already attempted an escape before he joined Bigwig, he was caught and made an example of.
2. Which of the rabbits from Watership Down that went to Efrafa returned a second time?

Answer: Silver

Silver was the least injured of the four, and the only one who felt able to return.
3. What type of tree did Fiver sleep under near Cowslip's warren?

Answer: Yew

Fiver slept under a yew tree because he had a feeling that the warren was not safe. He was right - it was full of snares.
4. Which rabbit was killed by Cowslip and some other rabbits from his warren?

Answer: Pimpernel

Pimpernel was one of the rabbits that escaped from Sandleford with Holly. He is killed by Cowslip after Holly mentions that they know Bigwig.
5. Who do the rabbits ask to be chief when they think that Hazel is dead?

Answer: Holly

Holly was chief of Owsla in Sandleford, and therefore most qualified to take on the job.
6. How is the white blindness carried?

Answer: In the ears

The white blindness is myxomatosis - a disease made by man to get rid of the rabbits who were eating farmers' crops.
7. Who is Elahrairah's best friend?

Answer: Rabscuttle

Yona is a hedgehog known to Elahrairah, Hufsa is a spy for King Darzin and Rowsby Woof is a dog, fooled by Elahrairah into leaving the lettuces unattended.
8. What did the Threarah call Hazel?

Answer: Walnut

The characters in Watership Down were based on the soldiers that Adams fought with in the Second World War.
9. What does Thlayli translate to?

Answer: Fur Head

Only Fiver, Pipkin and Bigwig are given both Lapine and common names.
10. A tough one: who comes for Hazel at the end of the novel?

Answer: Elahrairah

Although the book does not specifically state this, Richard Adams has said that it is Elahrairah and not the Black Rabbit who appears at Hazel's death.
