Mad as a March hare. To be as mad as a March hare is an English idiomatic phrase derived from the observed antics, said to occur only in the March breeding season of the Hare, genus Lepus.
Sea hares are hermaphroditic, meaning that they are both male and female. In mating, three or more pile up into lines. Each sea hare is female to the one behind and male to the one in front. In this way, a sea hare breeds internally with two other sea hares at the same time.
