If a permanent enters the battlefield as a copy of a card with a backup ability or a token is created that is a copy of that card, the order of the printed abilities is maintained.

Once Chomping Kavu has been legally blocked by a creature, changing that creature’s power to 2 or less won’t undo that block.

2023-04-14wotc

Backup confers only abilities that are actually printed below it. Any abilities that are gained by the permanent are ignored, including abilities gained due to a resolving spell or ability or copy effects.
