The orange-bellied Himalayan squirrel is a medium-sized rodent. It lives in the mountain forests of the Himalayas and stands out with its bright orange belly color.
The species is distinguished by its bright orange belly from other Himalayan squirrels. Squirrels disperse tree seeds and serve as food for predators in mountain forests.
