Does anyone write animal novels?

Hey, does anyone else write books like Richard Adam's "Watership Down"? Or David Clement-Davies "Fire Bringer" or "The Sight"? Here's one that a lot of young people would know, "Warriors" by Erin Hunter. I found this genre isn't that widespread, but the few books I've read (these and more) are great, and so anthropomorphic novels are my favorite, so much so that I began writing my own. Actually, one of mine is about to be published, I can't wait! But I was just wondering if there's anyone else out there who writes these kinds of books. (And when I say animal novels, no offence to the Redwall lovers out there, but I don't mean the kind of books where if you replaced the mice with humans then it wouldn't make a difference, lol. What I mean is, they've gotta be at least somewhat realistic animals, like "Tailchaser's Song" by Tad Williams). A quick note to other books worthy of this genre, is the "Mammoth Trilogy" by Stephen Baxter, and "The Foxes of Firstdark" written by Gary Kilworth, as well as "The Wild Road" by Gabriel King, and the "Seekers" series once more by the famous group of authors Erin Hunter. There's "Plague Dogs" by Richard Adams, and Clare Bell's "Ratha Series." Oh, and I'm pretty sure most people have heard of that friendly little deer, but if you've never read the original novel "Bambi: A Life in the Forest" by Felix Salten (a story that's not exactly for children, ironically, lol) then you should pick it up, and in my opinion is that it's up at the top next to "Watership Down" and "The Sight." These are just a few anthropomorphic books, and I named them for those who are just as much in love with animal stories as I. But my whole question was, is anyone out there writing an animal story, too?
