The Aztecs believed that the silhouette of a rabbit can be seen on the moon. According to their legend, the god Quetzalcoatl was exploring the land in human form and became hungry at nightfall. A rabbit offered itself as a sacrifice to satisfy Quetzalcoatl's hunger. Grateful for the rabbit's bravery and sacrifice, Quetzalcoatl placed the rabbit's silhouette on the moon so that people would remember its great heart.
