The takahe's diet changes with the seasons. It is restricted to the high alpine country, so in the summer it refers on snow tussock shoots, mountain daisy, sedges, herbs and moths. In winter it feeds on fern rhizomes in the high forests.
Originally the takahe had no predators, but when People came to its habitat in New Zealand, they brought goats, which ate the vegetation and ruined the enviroment, and rats who ate the takahe's eggs. People tried to get rid of rats, which had become the takahe's main predator, by introducing weasels, but the weasels just ate more takahe as well as baby takahe. So to answer your question, rats, weasels, and man are the takahe's predators.
Sources vary greatly regarding the lifespan of the takahe. The most common information seems to suggest that the takahe can live between 14 and 20 years, but that this is reduced to around five years in the wild.
Yes. Takahe are birds, and all birds have wings. Even flightless birds have wings, though they are of little or no use.

Yes. Takahe are birds, and all birds have wings. Even flightless birds have wings, though they are of little or no use.
Takahe and pukeko are similar in appearance because, although the takahe is flightless and the pukeko is not, they are both members of the rail family (Rallidae).
