The primary means of protection for a kiwi is hiding. Kiwi are nocturnal, and this behaviour enables them to evade their predators. They nest in burrows which they dig in the ground. Apart from that, they are virtually defenceless.

When they are trapped, they may use their claws in defence, but this is not enough to prevent the many kiwi deaths that occur from dog attacks.
