About this species

Range
Bangladesh, China, India, Myanmar, Nepal and Bhutan

The orange-bellied Himalayan squirrel is a rodent in the squirrel family, found in Bangladesh, China, India, Myanmar, Nepal and Bhutan. As its name suggests, it has orange underparts and is a squirrel of the Himalayan region (Wikipedia, general species account).

The sources opened for this species give only a one-line account of its range. Nothing on diet, behaviour, size or breeding was found, so none of those is stated, in line with the rule not to borrow from relatives. Nationally Least Concern (Nepal National Red List 2011).
