The hare has long been associated with madness especially during the mating season when the animals can be seen boxing or leaping in the air. 'Mad as a March Hare' has become a common phrase over the past few hundred years and was celebrated in the character of the Mad March Hare in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
