As [[Slipstream space|space-faring]] [[Sentience|sentient]] species began colonizing star systems throughout the [[Milky Way]], many planets were discovered with thriving populations of identical or near-identical plant and animal species, some recognizable from the colonists' respective homeworlds. In many cases, this was a result of the [[Forerunner]] [[Conservation Measure]] and manipulation by the [[Lifeworker]] [[Rate]]. In other cases, the cause was not as clear. | As [[Slipstream space|space-faring]] [[Sentience|sentient]] species began colonizing star systems throughout the [[Milky Way]], many planets were discovered with thriving populations of identical or near-identical plant and animal species, some recognizable from the colonists' respective homeworlds.

On planets where native species were not identical, they largely tended to follow standard morphological baselines to those observed on Earth. [[Fish]] looked like fish, [[Butterfly|insects]] looked like insects. Amphibians, reptiles, avians, and mammals could all largely be grouped into the same class as their Earth counterparts, even if local environmental pressures caused them to evolve along [[Ice shark|alternative]] [[Sardans cat|biological]] [[Spadehorn|paths]]. For example, the [[Jiralhanae]] homeworld [[Doisac]] had a species of cattle which were used by the Jiralhanae similarly to Earth cattle,{{Ref/Novel|Id=ET32|ET|Chapter=32}} and the [[Kig-Yar]] homeworld [[Eayn]] had species of hawks and vultures.{{Ref/Book|Id=MorDi|Halo: Mortal Dictata|Chapter=6}} Some of | On planets where native species were not identical, they largely tended to follow standard morphological baselines to those observed on Earth.
