HARE WE ARE COLECTION 004 01/09/2025
The term "March Hare" refers to the European hare (Lepus europaeus) during its breeding season, which typically peaks in the month of March. The phrase "mad as a March hare" comes from the hares' observed behavior during this time, which can appear erratic and wild. This includes males chasing females and, famously, the "boxing" that occurs when a female, not yet ready to mate, fights off an overly persistent male.
