Kiwi populations are endangered due to predation by introduced predators such as cats, dogs, possums, stoats, and weasels that eat kiwi eggs and chicks. Breeding kiwis is difficult as their eggs are often predated before the chicks can mature. Kiwis eat insects like grubs and spiders, and sometimes crabs, using their long beaks to dig and their sharp claws. However, kiwis are declining further due to loss of habitat as forests are destroyed and burrows eliminated by human activity.
