The northern gray-bellied squirrel is a medium-sized tree squirrel with olive-brown upperparts and a greyish underside. Coat colour changes seasonally in parts of its range, and the tail is long and bushy. The species occurs in southern China and across mainland Southeast Asia. (Wikipedia, general species account)

It occupies forest, plantations and secondary growth and is active during daylight. Fruit, seeds and other plant material form much of its diet. The squirrel moves readily through trees but may descend to forage, and its ability to use modified vegetation can bring it into cultivated landscapes. (Wikipedia, general species account)
