Looking for recommendations for series from animals point of view (discuss.online)

Looking for an interesting series, where the books are written from animals point of view. Kind of like Orwell's Animal Farm, but more fantasy / sci-fi / action.

We may follow a group of fighting turtle, or a rat's journey to home after getting lost, things like that. If taking example from movies, Ant Z is an example.

Any recommendations?

Watership Down by Richard Adams deserves a mention I think. It's not exactly a series, but it did get a sequel. Richard Adams also wrote The Plague Dogs and Shardik. Shardik doesn't actually take the POV of the animals, but Lord Shardik is a mythical bear that is kind of a main character. I haven't read The Plague Dogs yet, and only learned about it while checking my spellings for this comment, but everything else.by Adams that I've read has been amazing.
