The snow falcon was an avian native to Rhinnal. These creatures became extinct prior to the rule of the New Republic. Following the extinction of the snow falcon, these avians could be seen only in the Holographic Zoo of Extinct Animals in New Republic City on Coruscant. The snow falcon holo-diorama proved to be one of the more popular attractions in the Zoo. Not much was known about these extinct animals, but researchers hoped to reconstruct these animals by fossil DNA. Scientists theorized it could be done by transferring DNA from the fossil into the embryos of a similar species.
