Rabbits were important in Olmec, Maya, and Mixtec mythology linked to their respective moon goddesses or gods. Their connection to fertility was reinforced by how moon phases matched pregnancy cycles. Rabbits symbolized rejuvenation and fertility, depicted on the moon or being held by Lunar goddesses in Mesoamerican art, emphasizing ties to lunar deities and nature's mystical aspects.
