Rabbit goddess art

Philadelphia Museum of Art - Collections Object : Moon Goddess Chang E with Rabbits

The Easter Bunny is not a bunny or rabbit at all, but is actually a hare, the sacred animal of Eostre (or Oestra/Ostara), the ancient Teutonic Goddess of the Spring Moon. At the vernal equinox (March or April) the hares go ‘mad’ and at this time of year, one of Eostre’s hares laid an egg, the Egg of New Life, or the "Easter" Egg.

Today while watching for birds this rabbit just swam across the river, just seemed really odd.Never new rabbits could swim that well.
