Hoth's temper was as legendary as his battle prowess, and a feud between Hoth and Valenthyne Farfalla almost delivered victory to Kaan.

 Hoth - Definition, explanation
Barring recent orbital changes, a planet like Hoth could not support life, as without photosynthesis on a planetary scale the ecosystem would collapse due to the inherent inefficiencies of biological activity consuming the existent biomass and its stored energy.
Such an ecosystem would be almost entirely carnivorous on the surface though, meaning that the tauntauns were probably a non-native life form introduced by the rebels for use as beasts of burden.
Furthermore, photosynthesis does occur in arctic and alpine regions of Earth, despite the mistaken assumption by most residents of temperate or tropical climates that ice and snow are devoid of life.
