I am starting a weekly contest on my new blog, "Missy's Memos". This is the first feature.

Mrs. Clark was reading a book to her daughter Mikayla the other night in which a mysterious bunny dance was described. Upon further research, she found this info about hares:

"The saying "mad as a March hare" refers to the wild caperings of hares as the males fight over the females in the early spring, then attempt to mate with them. Since the females often rebuff the males' advances before finally succumbing, the mating behavior often looks like a crazy dance; these fights led early observers to believe that the advent of spring made the hares "mad."[2] This bold behavior makes the hares, normally timid and retiring animals, much more conspicuous to human observation in the spring."

This is the first of our Friday Fun Furry Facts posts. Please join us with an unusual animal fact of your own and you may be selected to receive a discount from Mrs. Clark's Critters new webiste that week. Just leave your fun fact in the comments on Missy's Memos blog. Oh, and let us know how to get in touch with you so we can let you know if you win. Thanks!
