Snowshoe rabbits are a type of hare and this animal is encountered in many myths around the world. One of the most popular ones is that of the Easter Bunny. In fact, the word "Easter" comes from the name of the Germanic Goddess of Spring "Oester" who often took the form of a hare (and this was borrowed later on in the Christian world as well).
