Orange-bellied Himalayan Squirrel पहाडी बनलोखर्के

The orange-bellied Himalayan squirrel (Dremomys lokriah) is a small, vibrant rodent native to the mountainous regions of the eastern Himalayas. Recognized by its distinctive orange-bellied fur and a mix of gray and brown shades on its back, it thrives in forested habitats. Primarily herbivorous, it feeds on fruits, seeds, and nuts. An agile climber plays a key role in seed dispersal. Habitat loss and fragmentation threaten its population, making conservation efforts vital for its survival.
